This upset gains extra significance as it occurred away from home, disappointing Hearts’ fans at the Pobiman Complex. This loss compounds Hearts’ ongoing challenges in the Ghana premier league this season and their exit from the FA Cup, a tournament they recently won twice in three years.
Hearts currently lack a permanent head coach after the departure of Martin Koopman, leaving Abdul Rahim Bashiru as the interim coach.
