A Turning Point for Swedru All Blacks? Rudolf Mensah Thinks So!
Swedru All Blacks striker Rudolf Mensah is optimistic that brighter days lie ahead for his club after they secured their first away victory in the 2025-2026 Ghana Premier League season. This win, a thrilling 3-2 triumph over Dreams FC at the University of Ghana Stadium, marks the team’s third victory in 11 matches since making their long-awaited return to the top tier after more than a decade.
But here's where it gets controversial: Dreams FC’s head coach, Winfred Dormon, placed the blame squarely on his goalkeeper, Gidios Aseako, claiming that his mistakes led directly to the team conceding three avoidable goals. This sparked debate among fans and analysts, questioning whether the loss was purely individual error or indicative of broader team issues.

Mensah, who was last season’s Division One top scorer with an impressive 27 goals in 30 matches, played a pivotal role in All Blacks’ promotion back to the Ghana Premier League. After finding the net in this surprising win over Dreams FC, the forward expressed confidence that the team is on an upward trajectory.
"When you look at our current position on the league table, it doesn’t really reflect the quality of football we’re playing," Mensah explained during the post-match press conference. "But from today’s game, you can clearly see that improvements are on the way, and we are hopeful that things will only get better."
The match itself was a rollercoaster of excitement. Swedru All Blacks took the lead early through Mensah in the 16th minute, only for Abdul Aziz to equalize for Dreams FC in stoppage time before halftime. The All Blacks quickly regained the lead in the 48th minute via Benjamin Adjei, ultimately holding on for a 3-2 victory.
