Obeng Jr. also made a promising move to get the attention of the referee for a penalty but unfortunately Hearts of Oak only clinched a 1-0 victory which wasn’t enough to get them qualify for the next round of the CAF Confederation Cup tournament.
AS Real Bamako beat Hearts of Oak 3-0 in the first leg in Mali a week ago at the 35,000-capacity Stade Modibo Keïta Bamako. This emphatic win gave AS Real Bamako a comfortable stretch.
Hearts of Oak fans have expressed disappointment following the match. Some fans however were expectant of the game’s outcome as a comeback from 3-0 loss is possible but challenging.
