AshantiGold have inflicted a painful 1-0 defeat on a ten-man Hearts of Oak at the Len Clay Sports Stadium.
Hearts defender Kofi Agyare directed a Latif Mohammed cross into his own net on 32 minutes in a match which was dominated by the home side.
The Phobians prowled for the equalizer but had to re-adjust after centre-back Godwin Osei Bonsu was sent off for a second bookable offence.
Hearts will remain in second place and seven points behind leaders Asante Kotoko.
