Dreams FC lost the plot at home against Vision FC on Sunday afternoon at the Tuba AstroTurf.

Salifu scored a consolation on the 58th minute but it wasn’t enough as the win slipped away to the away team who has been on a six-game winless run.

Dreams would play away to Holy Stars as Vision await Port City in the next league games.
