Ghanaian giants, Hearts of Oak have missed out on a chance to win the MTN FA Cup this season.
The Phobians have lost to Nania FC in the Round 64 stage of the domestic cup competition and have been knocked out in the process.
Hearts of Oak today locked horns with the lower-tier club keen on securing a win to advance to the Round 32 stage.
At the end of the 90 minutes of action between the two clubs, neither side could score and had to settle for a draw.
With the game forced to be settled through the penalty shootout, Nania FC have beaten Hearts of Oak 4-3 to go through the Round 32 stage of the 2023/24 MTN FA Cup.
The result only compounds the problems Hearts of Oak have been facing since the sacking of coach Samuel Boadu.
The coach while at the helm of affairs, won the MTN FA Cup title back-to-back and also lifted the Ghana Premier League title.
Since his departure, Hearts of Oak have failed to win any trophy.
