Medeama SC delivered a ruthless performance on Friday evening, thrashing Dreams FC 4-0 at the Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium, with Kingsley Braye stealing the spotlight with a sensational hat-trick.

The forward was unplayable on the night, heading home twice in the first half before calmly converting a second-half penalty to complete his first-ever Premier League treble. The result ended Dreams FC’s five-game unbeaten streak and breathed new life into Medeama’s title charge.

Braye opened the scoring in the 38th minute with a powerful header and doubled Medeama’s lead in first-half stoppage time with another towering finish. His third came in the 74th minute after confidently dispatching a spot-kick, putting the game out of reach for the visitors.

Mubarik Yussif added further gloss to the scoreline with a second penalty in the 88th minute, capping off a dominant display by the Mauve and Yellow.

Braye’s hat-trick marks the first at the newly renovated Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium and underlines his growing influence in Medeama’s campaign.

The win lifts Medeama to fifth on the Premier League table with 41 points, just five behind leaders Asante Kotoko with eight matches remaining. Dreams FC, meanwhile, slip to mid-table as their impressive recent run comes to a crashing halt.
