A second half stunner from Paul Acquah was all the Phobians needed to clinch all three points.

In the 59th minute referee Yaw Ametepey whistled for a penalty after Hearts skipper Thomas Abbey's cross struck the arm of an Ashgold player.

But the referee Ametepey changed his decision after consulting his assistant line 1 Alhassan Yahaya.

The win gives Hearts coach Frank Nuttall back to back wins after beating Bechem United 4-2 in midweek at the Accra Stadium.
