Dreams FC booked their place in the final of the 2025/26 MTN FA Cup after edging Medeama SC 3-2 in a gripping semi-final encounter at the Swedru Sports Stadium.

In a match packed with drama, intensity, and attacking brilliance, Dreams FC showed composure and clinical finishing to overcome a resilient Medeama side and keep their title hopes alive.

Dreams FC started on the front foot and were rewarded in the 23rd minute when Kelvin Ahiable broke the deadlock with a composed finish after a well-worked attacking move. Buoyed by the opener, they continued to press forward and doubled their lead in the 36th minute through Suraj Seidu, whose fine strike gave his side a comfortable cushion.

Despite going two goals down, Medeama SC refused to back down. Prince Owusu pulled one back before halftime, injecting fresh belief into his side and setting the stage for a dramatic second half.

Medeama carried that momentum into the restart and found a quick equalizer through Richard Appiah, leveling the score at 2-2 and turning the contest into a tense, end-to-end battle.

With both teams pushing for a winner, the decisive moment arrived when experienced forward John Antwi rose to the occasion, finding the back of the net to restore Dreams FC’s lead. His goal ultimately proved to be the difference, as Dreams held firm under late pressure to secure a memorable victory.

The win not only sends Dreams FC into the grand finale but also highlights their determination and growing reputation as a formidable force in domestic competitions.

They will now face Nations FC in the MTN FA Cup final, with both sides eyeing glory and a chance to etch their names into Ghanaian football history.
