Dreams responded before halftime, leveling the score in the 38th minute through a right-footed goal from midfielder Yaovi Chris Guede. The home side’s momentum was short-lived, however, as Gamba All Blacks struck twice in quick succession around the break to take a commanding lead.

In first-half stoppage time, substitute Abdul Aziz put the visitors back in front with a left-footed goal. The advantage was extended just two minutes after the restart when another substitute, Benjamin Adjei, found the net with his right foot to make it 3-1.

Dreams mounted a comeback effort in the second half, pulling a goal back through midfielder Seidu Suraj. Despite sustained pressure from the home team, the Gamba All Blacks defense held firm to preserve the narrow lead and secure all three points.

The result immediately reshapes the early Premier League table. Gamba All Blacks begin their campaign with a perfect record of one win and zero losses, while Dreams starts the season with zero wins and one loss. The records for both teams are identical across all competitions.
