### Match overview

Defense:

In a tight and at times cagey encounter, Ethiopia Nigd Bank did enough to edge a match that never truly settled into a rhythm. Despite the statistical record listing ball possession as Ethiopia Nigd Bank — 0, Mebrat Hayl — 0, the pattern on the pitch ebbed and flowed, with both sides enjoying spells of control without fashioning many clear-cut opportunities.

Face-to-face:

The hosts struck at key moments in either half to build a 2–0 lead, before Mebrat Hayl pulled one back late on to set up a tense finish. Nigd Bank, however, showed resilience to see the game out and claim the win.
