Ball possession:

The draw means both sides close their league seasons with a point, in a match that rarely caught fire as a spectacle but remained competitive from first whistle to last. Neither team was able to establish clear territorial dominance, with ball possession officially recorded as Awassa Kenema 0 and Sheger Ketema 0 – a statistical anomaly that underlined how finely balanced and scrappy the game often felt.

Passes:

In the attacking third, clear‑cut chances were at a premium. Awassa Kenema failed to register a single shot on target, finishing with 0 shots on goal overall, while Sheger Ketema mirrored those numbers, also ending with 0 shots on target and 0 total attempts on goal. With no player emerging as the clear leader in shooting volume for either side, both attacks struggled to convert promising build‑up into genuine goal threat, relying instead on isolated moments rather than sustained pressure.

Defense:

The passing data painted a similar picture of a scruffy, disjointed contest. Awassa Kenema were registered with a pass accuracy of 0% from 0 total passes, while Sheger Ketema matched those figures with 0% from 0 passes. Creatively, there was little to separate the teams: Awassa Kenema produced 0 key passes and Sheger Ketema also managed 0, suggesting that neither midfield was able to consistently unlock the opposing defence.

Face-to-face:

Defensively, both sides were more resolute than the scoreline might suggest. Awassa Kenema finished with 0 interceptions, with no clear individual leader, while Sheger Ketema also posted 0 interceptions, their top contributor likewise on 0. In terms of blocking, Awassa Kenema managed 0 blocks in total, and Sheger Ketema also ended with 0 blocks. Although the official statistics suggest minimal defensive actions in those specific categories, much of the work off the ball came in hassling, pressing and forcing hurried clearances rather than clean interceptions or standout blocks.
