Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak have secured their spots in the Round of 32 of the 2024/25 MTN FA Cup, while FC Samartex endured a surprising elimination.
Hearts of Oak cruised to a dominant 4-0 victory over Immigration FC on Sunday. Mawuli Wayo starred with a brace, supported by goals from Martin Karikari and Stephen Appiah Asare, ensuring a comprehensive win for the Phobians.
Meanwhile, Asante Kotoko had to dig deep to overcome Future Stars, eventually earning a hard-fought 2-0 win.
Albert Amoah was the hero of the match, breaking the deadlock in the 68th minute and sealing the victory with his second goal in the 86th minute against the resilient Division One League side.
In a major upset, defending Ghana Premier League champions Samartex were eliminated after a 2-0 defeat to Bibiani Gold Stars at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena.
The surprises didn’t end there. On Friday night, struggling Premier League side Legon Cities suffered a shock home defeat, losing to lower-tier side Home Stars FC.
