The Phobians could not end their poor start of the season as thet have been condemned to 15th on the log
Ashanti Gold defeated Hearts of Oak 2-0 in matchday four of Ghana Premier League at the Len Clay Sports Stadium on Sunday.
Two second half goals from Yaw Annor and Abdul Salam helped the Miners to worsen Hearts of Oak’s woes as they have gone four games without a win.
Samuel Boadu made only one change in the Hearts squad that shared the spoils with Aduana last week as goalkeeper Richard Attah returned to the post after his involvement with Ghana during the international break.
The Phobians were the first that had the brightest opportunity to open the lead by the 16th minute. Midfielder Patrick Razak went past the Ashanti Gold goalkeeper but he could not score despite having the yawning net at his mercy.
Four minutes later, Hearts forward Kofi Kordzi forced a save from Ashanti Gold goalkeeper Kofi Mensah and the shot-stopper picked up an injury in the process. He was replaced by Dennis Votere.
After the break, Hearts appealed for a penalty by the 47th minute but referee Latif Adari waved on as he wasn’t interested in any of their concerns.
Four minutes later, Ashanti Gold opened the scoring through Yaw Annor. The speedster connected a pass from his teammate and calmly finished it off beyond the reach of goalkeeper Attah.
Although, Hearts probed and caused several problems to Ashanti Gold’s defence, they could not find a decent chance to equalise.
Things moved from bad to worse for the Phobians on the stroke of full time after substitute Abdul Salam scored another goal to make it 2-0.
The results means that Hearts have gone four games without a win and have only three points from a possible twelve.
