Interim coach of Ashantigold Thomas Duah has revealed losing the MTN FA Cup title to Hearts of Oak last season inspired his outfit to defeat the rainbow boys.
The miners deepened the Phobians woes with a 2-0 win at the Obuasi Len Clay stadium on Sunday.
The reigning Ghana Premier League champions are without a win after four matches into the season. They have drawn three and lost one.
At the post-match conference, Thomas Duah revealed losing the MTN FA Cup title to the Phobians last season inspired his outfit to defeat the rainbow boys.
“The players adhered to the instructions and I believe that helped us to pick this win” he said.
Asked if their win is a revenge after losing the FA Cup title to Hearts last season, he said, “I can say that is a factor because we played very well in the final but unfortunately lost. The boys were determined to win after the cup defeat”
