AshantiGold begun life without Zdravko Logarusic at the Golden City Park where they were held 1-1 by Berekum Arsenal.
The Miners, who on the eve of the match asked the Croat to step side went in front on the 7th minute mark through Aaron Amoah.
But Kamara Dini's side allowed the home side to draw level 10 minutes before the break from a penalty scored by Stephen Amankwah.
AshantiGold's poor disciplinary record was at the fore once again when with a minute to regulation time Didier Kore was sent off.
