CAF Confederations Cup: Phobians win but fail to qualify 

Ghana Premier League giants, Hearts of Oak are out of the preliminary stage of this season’s CAF Confederation Cup.

The elimination has been confirmed despite a 1-0 win against AS Real Bamako at home today.

The result means that the team from Mali sails through to the final round thanks to a 3-1 aggregate win.

Last weekend when the team honoured the first leg fixture, Hearts of Oak suffered a 3-0 defeat to the opponent.

Today, the Ghana Premier League outfit welcomed AS Real Bamako to the Accra Sports Stadium for the reverse fixture.

In a game where the Phobians needed to score at least three unanswered goals to stand any chance of going past the opponent, the team failed to perform.

A poor showing from the team throughout the 90 minutes saw Hearts of Oak only scoring once.

The narrow win means this is the end of the round for the Ghana Premier League side.

Ghana now has no representative in Africa. Last month, Asante Kotoko also crashed out of the CAF Champions League.
