Hearts of Oak defeated lower-tier side Accra Young Wise 1-0 to progress to the quarter-finals of the 2020/21 MTN FA Cup on Wednesday afternoon.
Daniel Afriyie Barnieh scored the game’s only goal for the Phobians at the Theatre of Dreams at Dawu.
With the Ghana Premier League title within their reach, the Phobians are focused on achieving the double by winning the cup competition.
Accra Young Wise had an explosive start in the contest and they nearly snatched the lead early in the game but Ben Mensah quickly interfered to guide the ball to goal kick.
But Hearts quickly responded creating some decent chances but they failed to open the scoring.
On the 65th minute, Hearts of Oak were awarded a penalty after goalkeeper Bright Annor brought down Daniel Afriyie in the box.
Barnieh elected himself for the kick and nicely converted calmly to put his side in front.
The Phobians hold on tightly for the victory which sees them join Asante Kotoko in the last eight.
