Hearts of Oak beat Tamale Utrecht 3-0

Accra Hearts of Oak have reached the semi-finals of the 2015 MTN FA Cup after thrashing second-tier side Tamale Utrecht at the Tema Sports Stadium on Sunday afternoon. 

The Phobians killed off the game with three incredible first-half goals and Utrecht providing virtually no answers in attack.

Injury returnee Emmanuel Hayford powered Herbert Addo's side into the lead with a 12th minute striker before Eric Kumi doubled the lead for the Phobians.

Gerald Wellington then scored his second goal in two games for Hearts when he clinically finished off a move a minute before the break.

There was bad news for Herbert Addo as winger Ollenu Ashitey who was among the quartet who returned from injury suffered another injury and had to be substituted in the first-half.

Hearts awaits other Premier League rivals Asante Kotoko and Aduana Stars as well as Medeama SC who could all qualify for the semis.
