Hearts of Oak forward Mawuli Wayo is left cursing his stars after their nervy 2-2 draw against All Blacks.
The Phobians went down twice before crawling back to level in their return to the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.

Notwithstanding the draw, the record FA Cup holders retain their top four status from 27 matches.
Wayo, who pulled Hearts of Oak’s first goal before Frank Duku leveled, spoke after the game.
“I told myself I had to score against Swedru All Blacks to help Hearts of Oak win,” the former GoldStars winger told the media.
“But we didn’t get the victory, so I’m not happy.”
Wayo, who previously played for GoldStars, was adjudged the Most Valuable Player [MVP] of the game.
The former King Faisal forward has racked up 23 games, scoring six goals this season for the 2000 CAF Champions League winners.
Head coach of Hearts of Oak, Mas Ud Didi Dramani admitted that his charges were wasteful in front of goal.
“It was an open game with so many chances but once again we were wasteful,” Didi Dramani said after the game.
“Before their goals we created more opportunities but poor decisions in key moments cost us.”
Hearts of Oak share the third spot with Asante Kotoko on 43 points from 27 matches and they will travel to Young Apostles on April 5 for the week 28 fixture.
