Dreams FC inflicted a 1-0 defeat on Elmina Sharks in the opening day of the 2017/18 Ghana Premier League at the Dawu Park on Sunday.

Dreams FC were in their usual element in the early minutes of the match as they controlled the tempo of the game.

However, Sharks quickly found their rhythm as they took the game to the hosts.

Both sides failed to capitalize on the half chances they had as referee Ali Alhassan blew his whistle to end the first half.

The second stanza did not come different but it was the Still Believe lads who threatened to break the deadlock but their efforts were foiled by goalkeeper Joseph Essam.

And just as the match looked to ending in a stalemate, Sharani Zuberu shattered the hearts of the visiting fans with a 92nd minute strike to hand Dreams FC their first three points in the return to the elite division.
