Aduana Stars goalkeeper Stephen Adams has credited coach Yusif Abubakar for his master plan in the 2-0 win over Hearts of Oak at home on Sunday.
The Fire Boys needed two first half goals from Godfred Saka and Derrick Sassraku to maintain their position at the top.
After the goals, Aduana became compact to repel all attacks mounted by the Phobians.
''That was the plan we brought to the field. We knew that they would relax in the first 20 minutes of the match so we planned to hit them hard and fast,'' Adams said.
''That was the plan of the coach and we as players stuck to it. After the goals they managed to grow into the game but at that point the damage had already been done.''
