The Phobians wasted no time in stamping their authority on the game, taking the lead in the first half. Hussein Mohammed scored the only goal of the match after a well-worked move, finishing off an excellent assist from Martin Karikari. The early strike gave Hearts of Oak the advantage and forced Dreams FC to chase the game.
Despite their efforts, Dreams FC failed to find a breakthrough.

The Phobians managed the game smartly, keeping their composure at the back and ensuring that Dreams FC ended the game goalless.
For Hearts of Oak, this victory was a major boost after a difficult start to the campaign. Picking up three points away from home not only lifts their confidence but also sends a statement of intent to their rivals.
