Pockets of Hearts of Oak protested for the removal of head coach Sergio Traguil after Saturday's 1-1 draw at home with Techiman City.

The Phobians failed to take advantage of Wa All Stars defeat at Ebusua Dwarfs to return to the summit of the table.

Hearts took the lead through a Cosmos Dauda first half penalty but Techiman City equalized courtesy Vincent Adu.
