Hearts of Oak thumped Medeama SC 3-0 in the MTN FA Cup semifinals to reach a record 20th final.
Benjamin Afutu, Isaac Mensah and Daniel Afriyie set the Rainbow club up for a final against Ashanti Gold SC.
The Phobians quest for a sixth domestic double after winning the Ghana Premier League last month.
It was highly intense game with a lot of tackles flying in at the start from both set of players.
Afutu nodded the Phobians in front with a pretty well directed header from Isaac Mensah’s perfectly whipped cross from Medeama’s left side of defense.
Medeama, however, saw more of the ball while Hearts organized themselves at the back looking to hit on the break.
Eric Kwawa just before half time hit one from long range but his effort went wide as the first department ended 1-0.
Medeama in the second half continued to dominate possession.
Unfortunately, goalkeeper Frank Boateng miscalculated his run while acting as a sweeper and thus failed to clear Hearts’ Frederick Ansah Botchway’s through ball that eventually found striker Issac Mensah who calmly passed into the yawning net to increase the score.
The 10-times competition winners made it three from the spot through Daniel Afriyie who won the penalty himself.
Afriyie had his penalty taken twice after Frank Boateng got off the line to save the first kick.
Samuel Boadu’s men then slowed the tempo to finish with the emphatic 3-0 win.
