BREAKING: True Life Stun Hearts of Oak in MTN FA Cup Round of 64

Division Two outfit True Life Football Academy produced one of the biggest shocks of this year’s MTN FA Cup after eliminating giants Hearts of Oak with a narrow but historic 1–0 victory at the Phobians’ own training complex in Pobiman.

The lower-tier side showed no signs of intimidation, matching Hearts of Oak in every department and executing their game plan with remarkable discipline. Despite the home side dominating possession, True Life remained compact, defended resolutely, and waited patiently for their moment.

That moment arrived in the second half when True Life capitalized on a defensive lapse to score the only goal of the match—one that would prove enough to send the former FA Cup champions crashing out at the very first hurdle.

Hearts of Oak pushed desperately for an equalizer, creating a few half-chances, but the visitors held firm until the final whistle, sparking wild celebrations from the Division Two side.

The defeat marks an early and disappointing exit for Hearts of Oak, while True Life advance with confidence and belief, having pulled off a remarkable upset.
