Accra Hearts of Oak will play no part again in the 2024/25 MTN FA Cup after losing to Division One League side Golden Kick on Sunday, February 23.
Hearts lost 4-3 on penalties at the University of Ghana Stadium following a goalless draw at the end of 90 minutes.

The goalkeeper was forced into another good save moments later as he tipped Ampadu's shot over the crossbar in the 38th minute.
Hearts were reduced to 10 players in the second half after Theophilus Collins was sent off for a foul on the opposition's player which led to a second yellow card.
Golden Kick should have won the gave five minutes away from time but Hearts had Benjamin Asare coming to their rescue to deny the home side.
With the game ending 0-0, penalties was the decider on the day.
Asamoah Boateng and Samuel Amofa missed their penalties while Golden Kick converted four of theirs to ensure they knocked out the Phobians.
