Some 15 years ago, Asantemaan was made to sleep early as Accra Hearts of Oak defeated their beloved Asante Kotoko in the final of the CAF Confederation Cup at the Baba Yara Stadium.

With the first leg ending in a 1-1 draw in Accra, Kotoko were bookmakers’ favourite to win the ‘Virgin Cup’ but it turned out to be painful loss for the Porcupines.

The first leg of that historic two-legged final was replayed by GTV Sports+ on April 5.

Today, they come your way with that very match, everyone has been clamoring for.

Charles Taylor scored Kotoko's goal in the 51st minute, incidentally his first goal against his former club, Hearts of Oak since joining Kotoko, while Hearts equalised in the 80th minute through Adjah Tetteh.

Hearts won the penalty shootout with a 8-7 scoreline.
