Medeama SC climbed to the summit of the Ghana Premier League after a dramatic 2-1 victory over Dreams FC at the TnA Stadium in Tarkwa on Friday evening.
Despite their dominance throughout the match, it took a 92nd-minute own goal to hand the former champions all three points in a tense encounter.
Abdul Salam opened the scoring for the Mauves and Yellows in the 19th minute, capping off a bright start by converting a fine team move. However, Dreams FC drew level just before halftime when defender Christian Owusu turned home from a set piece in the 45th minute.
The visitors, still chasing their first win of the season, looked poised to claim a valuable away point until late pressure from Medeama forced a defensive error that resulted in an own goal deep into stoppage time.
Medeama dominated possession (59% to 41%) and created the better chances, registering 10 total shots with five on target, compared to Dreams’ eight efforts and two on target.
The result leaves Dreams FC winless in five games (L4, D1), increasing pressure on coach Winfred Dormon. Medeama, meanwhile, continue their fine home form and will face Samartex next in a Western Derby, while Dreams host Nations FC in search of their first victory of the campaign.
