• The Ghana Premier League side defeated King Faisal to win the competition

Dreams FC have been crowned the FA Cup champions of Ghana after beating King Faisal Babies FC in the final on Sunday in Kumasi.

A goal at either side of half-time saw the Dawu-based outfit cruise to a 2-0 win at the Dr Kwame Kyei Complex.

The Still Believe lads will represent Ghana in the CAF Confederation Cup next season following their FA Cup success.

In an exciting game last night, Dreams got off to a bright start after youngster Aziz Issah whipped in a beautiful freekick which missed the post by few inches.

Moments later, Issah made it count after a dazzling run on the right before slotting home the opener after 20 minutes, as reported by Ghanafa.org.

The talented winger who ended the game as Man of the Match was a menace to the defence of King Faisal, causing trouble on the right.

However, after the break, King Faisal improved their performance as they chased an equalizer. The In Sha Allah boys came close a few times but could not find the net.

Dreams FC replaced Emmanuel Agyei with Sadiq Alhassan in the final 23 minutes, hoping to close the game with an insurance goal.

Three minutes after coming on, Alhassan scored the most important goal as Dreams comfortably strolled to victory.

Dreams FC coach, Karim Zito admits the journey to winning the FA Cup has not been an easy one.

“There’s no achievement without hard work. It was so difficult, but we were focused most especially when we found ourselves at the bottom of the league. So, it made the work so tedious for me but I tried to separate it. I tried to concentrate on the league. After placing 6th which is a record for the club, we now come back to focus on the champion and today I thank God we have been able to win,” he told StarTimes, as quoted by GHANASoccernet.
