Accra Hearts of Oak Coach Kenichi Yatsuhashi is preparing for his next League game against Asante Kotoko after securing a famous victory against Ashanti Gold at the Obuasi Lan Clay Stadium on Sunday.

The Japanese trainer shelved off the pressure to guide his side in an important win away from home when they defeated the Champions 2-1.

Striker Cosmos Dauda scored twice in the space of 7 minutes to hand the Phobians all three points.

Dauda lashed into a powerful drive to beat AshGold goalkeeper Fatau Dauda at his near post to fetch Hearts the opener.

The youngster scored his second after getting his head onto a cross from Mustapha Essuman before Awudu Nafiu pulled one back for the miners.

Kenichi who has won the hearts of many Hearts of Oak fans with his stellar performance so far has shifted his focus to the big clash against sworn rivals Asante Kotoko at the Accra Sports Stadium next week.

“This win against Ashanti Gold is very important. Thank you for your support! Kotoko is next!,” he posted on facebook.

Hearts will be hoping to continue their impressive run with a win over Kotoko come next week Monday.
