Hearts grossed Ghc46, 360 from the gates and after deductions, which include the statutory 17,5 percent VAT charge, stadium user fee, cost of printing and other match related expenses.

A net profit of Ghc25,321 was realized.

The Phobians recorded a 1-0 win over AS Police in the tie and will hold onto that slender advantage in the return leg this weekend in Cotonou.
