Heart of Lions inflicted a painful 1-0 loss on visiting Kumasi Asante Kotoko on Saturday as the Ghana Premier League returned on Saturday.
Godfred Kwadwo Asamoah’s second half finish was the match winner for Lions at the Kpando Sports Stadium.
The former Medeama SC midfielder profited from some loose marking in the vital area to connect a cut back seven minutes after the interval.
Saturday's defeat was Kotoko's first in eight matches.
Prosper Ogum’s side had previously not lot been beaten in seven consecutive matches but struggled to cope with Lions intensity.
Kotoko remain in third placed with 29 points but could fall further behind if any of Samartex 96, Aduana, Nsoatreman United, and Berekum Chelsea win their matches this weekend.
Lions are now temporarily out of the drop zone with 18 points.
Bashir Hayford's men are unbeaten in four league matches; three wins and a draw.
Saturday’s match was the first Ghana Premier League game at the Kpando Sports Stadium in nine years.
