Accra, Mar. 10, GNA - Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting club would take on Togoles Champions Club, A. S. Douane in a special international friendly football match at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, March 14. Both teams would be using this match to prepare adequately for their respective crucial second leg encounters.

Mr Ashford Tettey Oku, Administrative Manager of the club said in a Press Release copied to the GNA Sports on Wednesday that both teams recorded impressive away results at last week-end's first leg of the CAF Champions league preliminaries.

Hearts of Oak drew goalless with Stade de Malien in Bamako whilst A S Douanes drew 1 -1 with A. S. Dragon of Benin in Cotonou.

The match is expected to kick-off at 3.00 pm with moderate rates of 10, 000 to be charged at the Osu and Popular stands while the Upper Terrace, Wings and VIP will be 20,000 cedis.

Last year, Hearts of Oak bundled out A. S Douanes on a 4 - 1 aggregate at the one sixteenth stage of the CAF Champions league after managing a narrow 1-0 win in Accra and following up with a massive 3- 1 victory in Lome.

This time round A. S. Douanes are poised to avenge these defeats and this Sunday offers them the rare opportunity to do that but trust Hearts to jealously guard its home invincibility to satisfy their teeming fans.
