Twelve-time winners Hearts of Oak have astonishingly been evicted from the FA Cup by lower-division side Nania FC in the first round of the competition via penalty shootouts after a goalless draw in regulation time.

The 'Phobians' in the opening thirty minutes of the game missed two clear chances which could have given them the lead; with both coming from Kwadwo Obeng Jr and inform Hamza Issah.

The 2011 champions despite not creating so much chances looked very resolute, compact and well organised in the zone.

In the second half, Kwadwo Obeng Jr three minutes from the break, had another chance but his effort missed the target by inches.

Despite series of attempts made, there was no goal produced as it finished goalless after full time.

The game travelled straight to penalty shootouts and Nania FC won 4-3 to eliminate the grand masters of the competition to advance into round of 32.
