Head coach of Medeama SC, Yaw Preko has described his side's defeat to Hearts of Oak in the MTN FA Cup as unfortunate.

The Mauve and Yellows succumbed to a 3-0 defeat to the Phobians in the semi-final of the MTN FA Cup at the Cape Coast Stadium.

Midfielder Benjamin Afutu opened the scoring with a towering header after connecting a cross from Isaac Mensah inside 12 minutes.

Isaac Mensah later added the second before Daniel Barnieh converted from the spot to seal the win.

Speaking after the win, Yaw Preko indicated that his side did not deserve to lose but has accepted the defeat.

Medeama gifted Hearts of Oak the second in the 60th minute following a goalkeeping howler by Frank Boateng.

 

The Medeama No.1 ended up failing to clear his lines after the ball had bounced on the turf and veered pass him onto the path of Mensah who had the easiest task of tapping it into the net.

"It's very unfortunate we shot ourselves on the foot, I don't about the penalty whether it was a good decision or not as I am yet to watch the replay .. some things did not go our way we had the game under control even though we were down, out of nothing the goalkeeper caused a blunder and we were punished for it," Yaw Preko said

Hearts of Oak – 10 time winners of the competition will face 1993 champions AshantiGold in the final at the Accra Sports stadium on Sunday.
