Dreams FC, representing Ghana in the ongoing CAF Confederations Cup, made history by advancing to the semi-finals of the competition for the first time in the club’s existence.
After securing a narrow 2-1 victory in the first leg in Bamako, Dreams FC aimed to secure their spot in the next round at home in the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
Antwi, who played a crucial role by scoring two goals in the first leg, continued to be a key figure in the team’s strategy.
Throughout the campaign, Antwi has been a guiding force, contributing four goals and two assists, showcasing his leadership qualities and influencing the team’s success.
Despite controlling much of the second leg against Stade Malien, Dreams FC found themselves trailing after Diaby Yoro’s goal in the 60th minute added tension to the match.
