Medeama SC Tops Premier League Standings after Thrilling Win

Dramatic Victory over Dreams FC

Medeama SC soared to the pinnacle of the Premier League following an intense 2-1 triumph against Dreams FC at the TNA Stadium in Tarkwa on Friday night.

Own Goal Proves Costly for Dreams FC

In a turn of events, Christian Owusu, who initially aimed to contribute positively, became the antagonist by scoring an own goal during the dying moments of the match. This unfortunate incident allowed the Mauve and Yellow to secure all three points, further enhancing their remarkable home record.

Match Overview

Medeama showcased a strong performance early on, breaking the deadlock in the 19th minute. Abdul Salam skillfully converted a well-executed team play, reflecting their dominant control of possession. However, the visiting team gradually regained composure and managed to equalize just before halftime, with Christian Owusu netting a close-range strike in the 45th minute.

Second Half Tension

In the second half, Dreams FC displayed solid defensive tactics and appeared poised to earn a crucial away point. Yet, their efforts ultimately crumbled deep into stoppage time when Christian Owusu inadvertently found the back of his own net, sealing a challenging win for the home side.

Current Standings

The loss leaves Dreams FC without a victory in their last five matches (4 defeats, 1 draw), increasing the pressure on Coach Winfred Dormon as they strive for consistency. Conversely, Medeama SC continues to impress at home, taking the lead in the league standings.

Upcoming Matches

Looking ahead, the reigning champions will meet FC Samartex 1996 in a highly anticipated Western Derby, while Dreams FC will aim to turn their fortunes around by hosting Nations FC in search of their first victory of the season.
