In a determined display of resilience, Dreams FC held Medeama to a hard-fought draw at the Akoon Community Park on Sunday, showcasing their refusal to bow down despite facing tough opposition.
Karim Zito’s side, having garnered only three points from their last three matches, arrived in Tarkwa with low confidence but brimming with determination and hunger for success.
Despite Medeama’s dominance in possession, the first half saw them restricted to chances primarily from set pieces, with Dreams FC defenders putting up a staunch defense, blocking shots and clearing crosses to safeguard goalkeeper Solomon Agbesi’s goal.
Medeama, aiming to leapfrog to fourth place in the standings, missed opportunities, including a close call from Agyenim Boateng whose shot struck the post in the 65th minute.
Meanwhile, Dreams FC grew in attacking prowess as the game progressed, keeping Medeama’s offense at bay throughout the ninety minutes.
However, concerns loomed for Medeama as captain Baba Musah Abdulai was forced off the pitch due to injury, adding to the challenges faced by the home side.
Additionally, new Medeama striker Diawise Taylor, yet to find his form since joining from Karela United, continued to struggle to make an impact, failing to find the back of the net in competitive matches.
Ultimately, the draw reflected the closely contested nature of the match, with both teams sharing possession and neither able to secure a decisive victory.
Despite missing several key players, Dreams FC showcased an improved performance and will likely return to the capital with satisfaction, having earned a hard-fought point away from home.
