and Benjamin Afutu missing in the first 5 and in sudden death respectively, but the Miners failed to take advantage, missing their succeeding spot kicks on both occasions.
The Hearts of Oak goalkeeper, Richard Attah saved from Amos Addai, the very first kick of the shoot out.
And then in sudden death, when Afutu missed for Hearts, Ashantigold had the chance to win it, but Attah came to the rescue, saving from Seth Osei.
