Accra Lions were relegated from the Ghana Premier League on Sunday after a 2-0 loss to Dreams FC in their final home fixture of the season at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The hosts started brightly and dominated the early exchanges. In the 10th minute, Fuzy Taylor delivered a dangerous cross into the area, but it narrowly missed a finishing touch.
A minute later, Lucky Nwafor’s header from another Taylor delivery struck the crossbar.
The Lions continued to press, and in the 41st minute, Edmond Amakye’s long-range effort forced a crucial save from the Dreams FC goalkeeper.
Despite the pressure from the home side, it was the visitors who broke the deadlock in the 51st minute through Razak Salifu. Yao Sokpoli nearly equalised four minutes later.
Accra Lions made three substitutions in the 73rd minute to try and turn the game around, but Dreams FC doubled their lead in the 84th minute through Aziz Musibau to seal the result.
The defeat confirmed Accra Lions’ relegation, bringing an end to their tenure in the top flight after five years.
