Dreams FC secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Hearts of Oak in Round 24 of the Ghana Premier League at the University of Ghana Stadium on Saturday night, marking their first win over the Phobians since May 2021.
Abdul Razak Salifu’s early strike proved decisive, as Hearts failed to capitalize on their dominance, especially in the second half.
Dreams made two changes from their previous match, introducing Abdul Razak Salifu and Aziz Musibau. The tactical adjustments paid off almost immediately, as Salifu struck in the 3rd minute to stun the home side.
Despite enjoying possession, Hearts struggled to break down a resilient Dreams defence in the first half.
They registered four shots on target but were repeatedly denied by goalkeeper Gidios Aseako.
The Phobians intensified their attack after the break, launching 12 goal attempts, but their finishing let them down.
Dreams held firm without a single shot on goal in the second half. Aseako delivered a heroic performance, making five crucial saves to preserve his team’s lead.
The visitors’ resolute defending saw them secure only their second away victory this season and in 17 attempts extending from last term.
The victory also ended a long winless run over the Accra giants as Dreams climb up to the 12th position on the league table, whereas Hearts remain in 3rd place.
