Hearts of Oak suffered their first league defeat of the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League season to Ashanti Gold on Sunday at the Len clay stadium.
The Phobians lost 2-0 as they still remain winless after four matches played so far this season.
Yaw Annor broke the deadlock eight minutes after the break with a wonderful volley to beat Richard Atta in goal for Hearts of Oak. The two sides then changed their style of play as both coaches threaded cautiously to avoid mistakes. But the plan worked perfectly for AshantiGoold who put the nail in the coffin in added time to seal the win.
Abdul Salam added the second goal in the 93rd minute to berate Hearts of Oak to their first loss of the season – bringing to an end a succession of three draws in the opening stages of the season.
The win will give the Miners a sigh following their recent struggles.
Hearts are now 15th on the league with three points.
