Dreams FC fought hard, and managed to scrape a point against FC Samartex.
Dreams FC’s second-half resurgence secured a 1-1 draw at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena.
After a disappointing 3-0 loss to Legon Cities on matchday 17 of the Ghana Premier League, Abdul Karim Zito and his team expressed dissatisfaction with the result.
Following their failure to register a single shot on target in that defeat, Zito was frustrated once again as his side struggled to challenge the opposition goalkeeper before halftime.
Samartex broke the deadlock just six minutes into the second half, with Mohammed Mankuyeli finishing off a well-executed give-and-go between two teammates.
Dreams FC, however, began to mount pressure, and an equalizer seemed inevitable. It eventually came in the 70th minute when Kofi Marshag delivered a pinpoint cross to the back post, where Joseph Esso headed it into the far corner. The momentum shifted entirely in favor of Dreams FC, leaving the stunned crowd at Nsenkyire Sports Arena watching as the visitors dominated, especially in wide areas. Kofi Marshag was particularly impressive, dazzling with his dribbling skills.
In a frantic closing stage that resembled a basketball game, both teams pushed hard for a winner but lacked the necessary quality to secure all three points. The match ended in a draw, a crucial result for Dreams FC after a strong second-half performance. Despite earning a vital point away from home, Dreams FC remain level on 17 points with Legon Cities, who are in the relegation zone.
