Ashantigold beat Dwarfs 3-0 in Obuasi as they went three games without defeat in the league and earn 4 points out of 6 in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The team remains 15th on the league log but the former Black Stars captain is happy with their output on the day.<\/p>\n
“Definitely we are very happy the way we played today. I think out confidence level has improved.”<\/p>\n
“We were aware of the opponent’s strength. They are a well organized side. In the early minutes, because of the way they approached the game, they were well organized especially in defence.”<\/p>\n
“We found it very difficult to penetrate so we were a bit careful and had to be patient and continue to play and go for the opportunities.”<\/p>\n
“The opportunity came by way of penalty before getting another. A good work from the boys and I’m very happy.”<\/p>\n
Ashanatigold will be hoping to avoid relegation at the end of the season. The coach had a great reception from the fans as the chanted his name at the end of the match.<\/p>\n
Confidence seems to be returning to Obuasi and that could be the catalyst for survival for the Miners.<\/p>\n
