Ayi made two errors which which led to two goals and as a result they lost the game 3-2.

While the game was at 1-1, the former Ghana U-23 goalkeeper set up Kotoko striker Steven Mukwala to put the away side ahead after he failed to grab a feeble Kotoko shot which allowed the ball to fall for Mukwala who scored from a rebound.

In the second error, he hesitated in coming out of his post to clear a weak back pass from Bobey Ansah which gave Mukwala the edge to beat him to the ball and slot it into the empty net to extend Kotoko's lead to 3-1.

Hearts found a back in the game through Martin Karikari but could not salvage a point and thus lost the game on Sunday, December 10, 2023.
