AshantiGold coach Charles Kwablan Akonnor says his side deserved the 3-1 victory over Hearts of Oak because they were 'tactically better'.
James Akaminko put the Miners ahead in the 8th minute after Evans Quao failed to clear a low corner by Amos Addai.
The visitors extended their lead on the hour mark after another poor bit of defending by Evans Quao which Amos Addai took advantage of and slotted the ball past hapless Sylvanus Gbeti.
The Phobians were given a lifeline in the 75th minute after striker Joseph Esso superbly outwitted Osei Agymenag before blasting his powerful shot under the bar.
But Shaffiu Mumuni sealed the win after he headed home a cross from substitute Prince Owusu in injury-time.
Akonnor told reporters: "Tactically we were better and much disciplined. We knew exactly what we had to do to win this game and I think we did it well, we made them suffer to see the ball''.
"I told the boys to keep the ball and they heeded to my instruction which made things difficult for Hearts of oak. We fully deserved the three points because we were better on the day."
Next up for Hearts of Oak is an away trip to Ebusua Dwarfs while Ashgold host Karela United.
