Wahab connected home a neat cross from Kwadwo Boateng and held unto it until the end of the first half.

Ashgold piled pressure after the break and substitute striker Eric Fordjour was tormentor-in-chief but Faisal keeper Iddrisu Ibrahim was superb in the post.

The Miners effort paid off and snatched the equalizer through Edmund Owusu Peprah on the hour mark.

Fordjour laid a perfect pass across the goal line for Peprah to tap home into the yawning net.
