The visibly broken Kotoko fan took solace from the Hearts of Oak fans as he left the stadium.

Meanwhile, Hearts of Oak revived their title hopes with the win in Accra.

Asante Kotoko will next travel to Samreboi to play Samatex while Hearts of Oak engage Bibiani Gold Stars on the road.

Both clubs have been left with the Ghana Premier League to compete for after they were eliminated from the FA Cup.
