The Ghana Premier League title race has taken a dramatic turn after Medeama SC surrendered top spot following a narrow 2-1 defeat to Dreams FC, a result that has injected fresh tension into the final stretch of the season.
Heading into the fixture with control of the table, the Mauve and Yellow have now slipped to second place on 46 points, overtaken by Bibiani Gold Stars, who capitalised with a crucial win over Vision FC to move two points clear at the summit.
At the Tuba AstroTurf, Dreams FC delivered a disciplined and efficient performance to halt Medeama’s charge. Adams Aminu set the tone early, finding the breakthrough in the 19th minute after a lively start from the hosts. The pressure intensified just after the restart when Abdul Razak Salifu doubled the lead, leaving Medeama chasing the game.
Ibrahim Tanko’s side showed resilience and pulled one back through Kelvin Nkrumah, whose composed finish reignited hope for a comeback. However, despite sustained late pressure, Medeama were unable to find an equaliser, ultimately falling to their fourth league defeat of the campaign.
The loss marks a significant shift in momentum. What once looked like a comfortable title march has now evolved into a tightly contested battle, with Gold Stars seizing the initiative at a critical juncture.
With eight matches remaining, Medeama must quickly rediscover their consistency if they are to reclaim top spot. The focus now turns to how the team responds under pressure, as the race for the title intensifies heading into a decisive run-in.
