Abdul Razak Salifu’s early goal in the 3rd minute proved decisive as Dreams capitalized on their fast start.
Despite making just two changes from their previous lineup, the tactical tweaks paid off instantly, catching Hearts off guard.
Hearts dominated possession, particularly in the second half, but their lack of clinical finishing proved costly, per Ghanasoccernet.
They registered 16 goal attempts—12 of them after the break—but Dreams’ defense held firm.
Goalkeeper Gidios Aseako was the hero of the night, making five crucial saves to deny the home side any breakthrough.
Dreams FC did not manage a single shot in the second half, yet their disciplined defending saw them secure all three points.
The win lifts them to 12th place on the league table, while Hearts of Oak remain in 3rd, missing a crucial chance to close the gap at the top.
What's next?
With this result, Hearts of Oak now turn their attention to their next challenge against Bechem United on Wednesday, March 19, aiming to bounce back from the defeat.
Meanwhile, Dreams FC will be eager to continue with this famous victory as they prepare to travel to Kpando to face Heart of Lions.
With the relegation battle heating up, they must find a way to continue winning ways and avoid being drawn into the drop-zone scrap.
