Hearts defeat Skyy FC to keep FA Cup title hopes alive

Hearts of Oak have progressed to the semi-finals of the MTN FA Cup with a slender 1-0 win over lower division side Skyy FC at the Accra Sports Stadium, to keep alive their ambition of defending the title.

It took substitute Patrick Razak just 16 minutes on the pitch to give the Phobians the match-winner after coming off the bench to replace Kofi Kordzi in the 50th minute.

Razak struck the ball into the back of the net after receiving a clever pass from Gladson Awako, moments after the speedster saw an initial scoring chance saved by Skyy FC goalkeeper Solomon Nimo.

The victory means the Rainbow club will face Dreams FC in the last four of the knockout competition, while Aduana Stars do battle with Bechem United for a place in the FA Cup final scheduled for the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi later this year.
