Medeama SC’s grip on the Ghana Premier League summit has slipped at a crucial stage of the season following a 2-1 defeat to Dreams FC, a result that reshapes the title race with just eight matches left to play.
The Mauve and Yellow, who once held a commanding eight-point lead at the top, have now dropped to second place on 46 points, two behind defending champions Bibiani Gold Stars, who seized the opportunity with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Vision FC.
Dreams FC delivered a composed and clinical performance to hand Medeama a damaging blow at the Tuba AstroTurf.
Adams Aminu opened the scoring in the 19th minute, capitalizing on a bright start from the hosts. Abdul Razak Salifu doubled the advantage just two minutes into the second half, putting Dreams firmly in control and leaving the visitors with a mountain to climb.
Medeama responded through winger Kelvin Nkrumah, whose well-taken goal reduced the deficit and briefly reignited hope. However, despite late pressure, Ibrahim Tanko’s side were unable to find an equalizer, slipping to their fourth defeat of the campaign at a time when consistency is most critical.
The loss marks a significant turning point in Medeama’s season. Once cruising at the top, their recent dip in form has opened the door for Bibiani Gold Stars, who have capitalized to take control of the title race heading into the decisive final stretch.
For Tanko and his side, the challenge now is as much mental as it is tactical. With momentum shifting and rivals gaining ground, Medeama must quickly regroup to keep their title ambitions alive in what is shaping up to be a tense and unpredictable run-in.
