Dreams FC, a team from the Ghana Premier League, has achieved a remarkable feat in their debut campaign in the CAF Confederation Cup by advancing to the semifinals. They overcame Stade Malien, a team from Mali, in a thrilling encounter.
Despite trailing initially, the MTN FA Cup champions managed to salvage a 1-1 draw in the second leg of the quarterfinals at the Baba Yara Stadium against Stade Malien.
Early on in the match, Dreams FC appeared to have taken the lead, but a decision by VAR kept the scoreline level.
Following a goalless first half, Stade Malien broke the deadlock with a goal from York Diaby in the 60th minute, leveling the aggregate score.
However, Dreams FC responded strongly, equalizing ten minutes later through Sylvester Simba.
Under the guidance of Karim Zito, Dreams FC held their ground, maintaining the 1-1 scoreline and securing a 3-2 aggregate victory, building upon their memorable win in Mali from the previous week.
This historic achievement sees Dreams FC becoming the first Ghanaian team to reach the semifinals of the CAF Confederation Cup since Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko accomplished the feat back in 2005, during the inaugural edition of the competition.
