The visitors shot ahead just under two minutes when striker Yakubu Mohammed poked the ball past goalkeeper but Hearts levelled through Togolese striker Foovi Aguidi.

He received a pass from Isaac Mensah and with his back against goal, he spun before firing past Dabuo.

In the second half, AshGold shot ahead again through Ivorian Didier Kore after Bernard Morrison did well to break up the Hearts defence for him to score.
