Ghanaian FA Cup champions Dreams FC showcased an extraordinary performance in their maiden appearance in the CAF Confederation Cup, securing a commanding 4-0 win against Angolan side Academica do Lobito at the Baba Yara Stadium.
In a match that displayed their dominance, Agyenim Boateng initiated the scoring in the 35th minute, setting the stage for Dreams FC’s remarkable triumph. The hosts furthered their lead with an own goal, leaving their opponents struggling to find footing in the game.
However, it was teenage sensation Abdul Aziz Issah who stole the spotlight with a stunning goal from midfield, adding to Dreams FC’s tally. Issah’s brilliance didn’t stop there; he orchestrated the fourth goal, sealing a resounding victory and a standout performance for Karim Zito’s squad.
This victory propelled Dreams FC to the summit of Group A, accumulating nine points and establishing a three-point lead over their contenders, Rivers United and Club Africain, set for a showdown in Tunisia.

Dreams FC’s exceptional run in the CAF Confederation Cup has captured the admiration of fans across the continent, marking their arrival on the African stage with an awe-inspiring display of talent and determination.
