Ghana Premier League giants Hearts of Oak had to walk away with only a point from the Dr Kwame Kyei Sports Complex at Abrankese in the Ashanti Region after an injury-time equaliser from substitute Richard Danso.
The Phobians had taken the lead as early as the eighth minute through Hamza Issah.
It was their Matchday 15 clash in the League against a dogged Nations FC side, who are yet to lose at home.
Supporters of the debutants had promised, ahead of the clash, whipping the former champions at the home grounds.
It’s matchday⚽ in the @GhanaLeague for @HeartsOfOakGH. They play away to Nations FC.
The home supporters are saying if there’s a team to break their 5-match unbeaten run, it is not Hearts of Oak. #OnuaSports pic.twitter.com/vXH6uXF2Lo

Hearts of Oak were coming from a 2-3 defeat to archrivals Asante Kotoko on Matchday 14.
With Issah’s early strike, Abdul Rashid Bashiru’s side were on their way to clinching the maximum points.
However, substitute Danso clinched the vital equaliser in injury time to deny the Phobians a win.
The result keeps Nations FC 3rd on the log while Hearts of Oak go 9th with 17 points.
Nations FC will travel to Bechem United for their next game while travel to Sogakope to face city rivals Great Olympics in a match which would have been payed at the nation’s Wembley but for the directive of the National Sports Authority (NSA).
