Dreams FC defied the odds with a stunning victory against Stade Malien in the CAF Confederation Cup first leg on Sunday.
Experienced striker John Antwi shone brightly, netting both goals in the thrilling 2-1 triumph for the Ghanaian side, who now harbor hopes of reaching the semifinals for the first time in their history.
Making it to the quarterfinals is already deemed an overachievement, and Dreams FC's remarkable performance in Bamako adds another chapter to their inspiring journey.
In a resilient first-half display, Dreams FC frustrated the hosts, limiting them to just 41% possession and five goal attempts, while mustering six of their own.
