The Miners got their noses in front just two minutes after recess through Yaw Annor who replaced Amos Addai. Annor connected an incisive pass from Opoku Agyemang to slot home.
Accra Great Olympics threw men forward ion search of the equalizer but their attempts proved futile.
Defender Jamal Deen Haruna came close in the 84th minute but his header missed the goal by inches.
AshantiGold SC nearly scored the third goal in the 87th minute after a neat pass from David Abagna was missed by substitute Walid Neymar.
