Defense:

Although the official statistics for ball possession were recorded as Sidama Bunna — 0 and Dire Dawa Kenema — 0, the pattern of the match told a very different story on the pitch, with Sidama looking the more purposeful side whenever they moved forward. They pressed high from the outset, forcing early errors from Dire Dawa’s back line and pinning the visitors in their own half for long stretches.
