With all manner of persons in attendance, ranging from children to adults, restless Hearts of Oak fans held their breath in a scintillating final minutes of action.

As the clock kept ticking and tocking, a last-gasp penalty call was turned down by the referee that had the Kotoko fans go loco as they threw items on the field.

On the balance of play, Accra Hearts of Oak dominated, leaving Kotoko chasing shadows despite having fair chances on their own to settle the score.
