CK Akunnor's revival of Ashgold gained momentum on Wednesday when he led the Miners to claim a famous 1-0 win at Accra Hearts of Oak.
Daniel Gozar's 20th-minute strike silenced the Phobians and their teeming fans at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Akunnor's side were content with allowing the Phobians to dominate possession and make no mistake when prevented with a golden opportunity.
Hearts threw more players forward in a desperate search for an equaliser but their efforts were thwarted by impregnable veteran goalie George Owu.
