Dreams FC, the reigning Ghanaian FA Cup champions, are leaving an indelible mark in their inaugural appearance in the CAF Confederation Cup, showcasing their prowess with a stellar performance at the Baba Yara Stadium. The resounding 4-0 victory over Angolan side Academica do Lobito is a testament to their growing influence on the continental stage.
This triumph is a follow-up to Dreams FC’s earlier 3-2 victory in Luanda, completing a remarkable double over their Angolan counterparts. The team’s consistency in securing wins underscores their determination and ability to navigate the challenges of the CAF Confederation Cup.
The offensive onslaught was initiated by Agyenim Boateng in the 35th minute, providing Dreams FC with a well-deserved lead. The hosts didn’t stop there, as an own goal from the opposition further extended their advantage, leaving Academica do Lobito in a precarious position.
The emergence of teenage prodigy Abdul Aziz Issah added a layer of brilliance to Dreams FC’s performance. Issah’s remarkable goal from midfield showcased not only his individual skill but also the team’s collective strength. The young talent wasn’t satisfied with just scoring; he went on to set up the fourth and final goal, contributing significantly to the comprehensive victory orchestrated by coach Karim Zito’s men.
With this commanding win, Dreams FC has surged to the top of Group A in the CAF Confederation Cup, accumulating a total of nine points. Their three-point lead over contenders Rivers United and Club Africain intensifies the competition within the group, setting the stage for an exciting clash between the latter two teams in Tunisia.
Regrettably, Academica do Lobito’s journey in the competition comes to an end following this defeat. Dreams FC’s dominance not only secures their own advancement but also eliminates their Angolan counterparts from further contention in the CAF Confederation Cup.
The captivating performances of Dreams FC are resonating beyond the borders of Ghana, capturing the attention and admiration of football enthusiasts across the continent. As they continue their dream run in the tournament, the team’s ability to deliver under pressure and showcase their talent is elevating their status in African club football.
The narrative of Dreams FC in the CAF Confederation Cup is evolving into a compelling storyline, and fans are eagerly anticipating the team’s next chapter as they navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in this prestigious continental competition.
