Ball possession:

The solitary goal was enough to separate the sides and underline Mekelakeya’s growing resilience as the season nears its conclusion, while Mebrat Hayl were left to reflect on another frustrating afternoon in front of their home support.

Passes:

### Cagey contest with few clear chances

Defense:

From the outset, the match was played at a measured tempo, with both sides prioritising defensive stability over attacking risk. Neither team managed to impose sustained control in midfield, and the game became a stop–start affair, broken up by fouls, turnovers and long clearances.

Face-to-face:

Despite the narrow scoreline, it was Mekelakeya who generally looked the more purposeful in the final third, working the ball into wide areas and forcing Mebrat Hayl deep. However, the final pass too often let them down, and the match drifted for long spells without either goalkeeper coming under significant pressure.
