Despite dominating possession for long spells, the Phobians struggled to unlock True Life FC’s compact and disciplined defensive setup.

After the break, Hearts threw on key attackers Hamza Issah, George Paa Ku, Hussein Mohammed and Amankwah Baafi in search of a breakthrough, but the lower-tier side held firm.

True Life FC defended with grit, soaked up pressure, and took their chance when it mattered. Hearts huffed and puffed in the closing stages but couldn’t find the equaliser.

The result sends True Life FC into the next round, while Hearts of Oak face yet another disappointing early exit from the FA Cup.
