The former Premier League champions had another opportunity when Patrick Razak raced into Medeama’s goal area but he failed to put the ball at the back of the net.
It was back and forth in the first ten minutes in the second half but Medeama were the better side as they put a lot of bodies upfront.

Second half substitute Edmund Peprah could have broken the deadlock in the 59 minute but he missed the post by inches with a brilliant curler.
The Tarkwa giants intensified the pressure on the home side – the Phobians failed to come to terms with play of the two-time FA Cup champions.
With 15 minutes left on the clock, Hearts of Oak created their first chance in the first half but Agbeshie Dotse after out jumping everybody headed wide Patrick Razak’s corner kick.
