Striker Emmanuel Osei scored the solitary goal of the game for AshantiGold as Bashir Hayford's men worked above themselves to secure a crucial win that has set them on the path of title redemption.

Striker Yakubu Mohammed had missed from the spot early in the first-half after Osei was fouled inside the box but hopes were not sapped as the Miners went ahead to pin down an exciting-looking Liberty Professionals side inspired by Latif Blessing.
