It was striker Cosmos Dauda, the man who have scored all the important goals for the Phobians this season whose tap at close range in the 66th minute earned the Phobians the vital equaliser after Emmanuel Akuoku had fired the homesters ahead in the 18th minute of the game.
Both teams began the game brightly but it was the home side that showed real intention of carrying the day in the first minute but Hearts young goalkeeper Samuel Akurugu passed the test.
The homesters continued the dominance and earned a free kick which experienced defender Godfred Saka who had a slow start to the season brilliantly volleyed into Hearts’ vital area but the league’s leading goalscorer Yahaya Mohammed failed to connect.
With Aduana enjoying the lion’s share of possession Saka finally earned a deserved assist after Emmanuel Akuoko met his well-delivered cross to nod home and give Aduana the lead.
The second half saw Cosmos Dauda and Samuel Yeboah creating problems for the Aduana defence but they stood their grounds as they frustrated the Phobians’ search for the equaliser.
A golden opportunity fell for Ollenu Ashittey but the young Hearts midfielder allowed Zakaria Mumuni to block him.
However, the Phobians proved unstoppable in the 66th minute when a brilliant move between Isaac Mensah and Sam Yeboah found the lurking Dauda who planted the ball into the net.
