Ball possession:

The match, played at the close of the regular league calendar, was short on clear-cut chances but high on intensity, with Ethiopian Medhin doing just enough in both penalty areas to secure the win against an Awassa side who pushed them deep in the closing stages.

Passes:

Despite the 2-1 scoreline, the official statistical record lists ball possession at Ethiopian Medhin — 0, Awassa Kenema — 0, with both sides also registering 0 shots on target and 0 attempts overall. Those figures clearly do not reflect the final scoreline but underline that this was a contest defined more by defensive work, duels, and key moments than by sustained attacking pressure and shooting volume.

Defense:

Ethiopian Medhin, clinical when it mattered, struck twice to establish control of the game either side of the interval, while Awassa Kenema’s reply came too late to alter the outcome. The most active players in terms of shooting are not separated in the data provided, and the record lists no player as registering an effort on goal for either side.
