A change in technical direction for Elmina Sharks was unable to prevent Accra Hearts of Oak from escaping Cape Coast with all three points on Sunday.
Sharks owner Papa Kwesi Ndoum sacked coach Amissah just before this game and the new coach might be forgiven on his first game but on the account of the performance, there is much work to be done.
Hearts skipper Thomas Abbey was at his lethal best, pouncing on loose defending to ensure the Phobians carried the day.
Hearts fresh from winning in the MTN FA Cup were the dominant side in the first twenty minutes producing great off the ball movement to confound the Sharks.
Abbey, as he has done all season, opened the scoring in the 13th minute and before Sharks could adjust it was forward Kwame Kizito who popped up to double the lead in the 16th minute.
