True Life FC produced one of the biggest surprises of this year’s MTN FA Cup after eliminating Hearts of Oak with a narrow 1–0 win in the Round of 64 at the Pobiman Training Centre.
The Division Two side struck early in the second half when Arhin finished off a clever one-touch sequence initiated by Robert Nartey.
Hearts controlled large portions of the game but repeatedly ran into a well-organised defensive block that refused to break.
In an effort to shift the momentum, the Phobians introduced Hamza Issah, George Paa Ku, Hussein Mohammed, and Amankwah Baafi, yet the equaliser remained elusive.
True Life FC absorbed wave after wave of pressure and capitalised on their best moment of the afternoon.
Hearts pushed desperately in the final minutes, but their finishing woes once again proved costly.
The shock defeat sends True Life FC into the Round of 32, while Hearts suffer another painful early departure from the competition.
