Hearts’ lead after 46 minutes through Kwadwo Obeng Jnr was canceled by Henry Owari in the 55 minute.
The former UEFA Champions League winner with Inter Milan had the chance to seal win for the Phobians when forward Patrick Razak was brought down by WAFA’s goalie Osei Bonsu in the 74th minute.
The 37-year-old stepped up and netted what proved to be the winner for the hosts who are looking at getting into the top four.
Muntari has enjoyed his stay at Hearts since deciding to join the Ghanaian giants ahead of the second round of the top flight.
The former Black Stars player has two goal contributions since joining the reigning Ghanaian champions last month. He registered an assist two weeks ago in the 1-1 draw against Legon Cities.
Muntari last played for the Black Stars in 2014 during the World Cup in Brazil.
