Rahman gives Aduana slim win

Ghana Premier League champions Aduana Stars put their best foot forward at the start of the GHALCA G8, beating newly promoted Dreams FC by a lone goal at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi on Saturday to take a temporary hold at the summit.

Playing before a virtually empty stadium, the two sides displayed uninspiring performance, lacking the cutting edge to deliver the kill when it mattered most.
