Head Coach of AshantiGold, C.K Akunnor has praised his players for executing his game plan perfectly in the 2-0 win over Asante Kotoko on Sunday.

A cagey encounter ended in a goalless draw after the first 45minutes with the Porcupine warriors not allowing the league leaders a sniff at goal.

A quick fire double in the second half from Samed Ibrahim and Shafiu Mumuni handed the Miners bragging rights in the Ashanti Regional derby.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Akunnor expressed his delight and lauded his charges for a tactical masterclass.

"It was a good game, we were patient in the game, Kotoko were defensive but we stayed true to our play because we knew at some point in the game they were going to open up and with the substitutions we made, it helped in opening spaces in their defense," Akunnor said.

"I'm happy for my players because they listened to the tactical instructions and executed it perfectly."

AshantiGold are sitting at the summit of the log with 13 points after 5 matches.
