Ball possession:

The result, secured with a goal in each half, underlined Sheger Ketema’s efficiency in both penalty areas. While the statistical record from this fixture is officially logged at zero for possession, shots, passes and defensive actions for both sides – reflecting an incomplete or unavailable data capture rather than the actual flow of the game – the scoreline itself tells the real story of a contest shaped by Sheger’s superior composure in key moments.

Passes:

Bahardar, playing at home and under pressure to respond to recent inconsistency, struggled to create meaningful openings in the final third. According to the recorded match data, Bahardar finished with 0% possession, 0 total passes and no shots on or off target, numbers which clearly do not mirror the true rhythm of the contest but do underline how little return they ultimately found for their efforts. They were unable to turn territory or build-up play into clear chances, and Sheger Ketema punished that lack of incision.

Defense:

Sheger Ketema, by contrast, were ruthless when it mattered. While the official stats also list them at 0% possession, with 0 passes, 0 shots on target and 0 efforts on goal – again, an indication of missing or unlogged data – the visitors maximised their attacking phases, striking twice to silence the home support and manage the game expertly once in front. Their forwards took full advantage of the few clear opportunities that came their way, showing the extra quality in the final third that separated the sides.

Face-to-face:

The midfield battle, usually reflected most clearly in passing and possession metrics, is impossible to quantify from the raw figures published: Bahardar are listed with 0% pass accuracy from 0 total passes, while Sheger Ketema are credited with the same – 0% from 0 passes. Key passes are likewise logged as zero for both teams. Nonetheless, the pattern on the pitch was of Sheger moving the ball with greater purpose when they did attack, while Bahardar laboured to break down a disciplined defensive unit.
