Hearts now move onto four points from their opening two games
Hearts of Oak secured their first victory of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season with a narrow 1-0 win over Dreams FC at the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex in Tema Newtown on Monday.
The decisive moment came in the 14th minute when midfielder Mohammed Hussein found the back of the net.
Hussein reacted quickly inside the penalty area and struck a composed effort past Dreams goalkeeper Gidios Aseako to hand the visitors an early lead.
It was a goal that ultimately proved enough to separate the two sides.
Dreams, who were looking to respond following their opening-day defeat to Heart of Lions, grew into the game after conceding but struggled to convert their chances.
The Still Believe side enjoyed long spells of possession and pressed for an equaliser, yet they found Hearts’ defence well-organised and difficult to break down.
The win provides an important response for Hearts after their disappointing goalless draw with newly promoted Hohoe United last weekend.
Head coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani will be encouraged by the team’s ability to withstand pressure and protect their slim advantage in Tema.
The result also ended Dreams’ six-match unbeaten run against Hearts and marked their first home defeat since December 2024, when they lost to Asante Kotoko.
Hearts now move onto four points from their opening two games, while Dreams remain without a point after back-to-back defeats.
