Hearts join Kotoko in Special Competition Knockout round of 16

Hearts of Oak have joined arch-rivals Asante Kotoko in the Round of 16 of the Ghana Special Competition Knockout following a 4-2 home triumph over Division One club Uncle T Stars on Thursday.

Joseph Esso, Christopher Bonney, Kojo Obeng Junior and Kofi Kordzi netted to put the Phobians through.

For their next challenge, Kim Grant's outfit will face the winners of the tie between Unistar Academy and Amidaus Professionals.

Hearts had to do it the hard way after the visitors opened the scoring in the first half. Esso brought the Phobians level on the 44th minute before Bonney converted a penalty on the hour mark to make it 2-1.
