The Phobians piled pressure on the away side and Esso pulled one back with a neat finish in the 75th minute.

On the 89th minute, Ashanti Gold put the game beyond the reach of the Phobians with the third goal through Shafiu Mumuni.

The results leave Hearts of Oak with just one point from two games following their opening day 1-1 draw with Eleven Wonders last Sunday.
