Dreams FC's fairytale run in the CAF Confederation Cup ended on Sunday, April 28, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

The Still Believe lads lost 3-0 to Egyptian giants Zamalek in the second leg of their semi-final clash, ending their remarkable debut campaign in the competition.

The Egyptians progressed to the final by a 3-0 aggregate after a 0-0 stalemate in the tie's first leg.

According to a Graphic Online report, Zamalek SC dominated the encounter from the onset, effectively sealing the game's outcome with two early goals in the first half, scored by Hamza Mathlouthi in the 12th minute and Samson Akinyoola in the 27th minute.
