Dreams FC achieved a historic milestone by advancing to the semifinals of the CAF Confederation Cup following a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Stade Malien in Kumasi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ghana FA Cup champions entered the match at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday with a first-leg lead but faced a resilient challenge from their opponents.<\/p>\n

The game began with Dreams FC showing early dominance, with Derrick Agyei\u2019s fifth-minute effort denied by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for offside.<\/p>\n

Despite their efforts, the first half ended without either team finding the back of the net. However, Stade Malien broke the deadlock after the break, with Yorro Diaby putting them ahead to level the aggregate score.<\/p>\n

Yet, Dreams FC remained confident due to the away goal rule, maintaining their position to qualify for the semifinals.<\/p>\n
