Ball possession:

In a match where the margin for error was fine and the stakes high so close to the end of the season, neither team was able to find the breakthrough. The game quickly settled into a pattern of caution rather than adventure, with both coaches clearly prioritising structure and discipline over risk.

Passes:

Remarkably, the statistics reflected just how attritional and bitty the contest became. Official figures recorded ball possession at 0% for both Hadiya Hosaena and Ethiopia Nigd Bank, underlining how little either side managed to establish sustained control or build meaningful phases of play. The midfield battle was scrappy and fragmented, with the game frequently broken up by fouls, stoppages and wayward passes rather than flowing football.

Defense:

The attacking numbers were equally stark. Hadiya Hosaena failed to register a single shot on target, with 0 efforts on goal recorded overall. There was no clear standout in terms of shooting volume, as no home player was able to test the visiting goalkeeper or even consistently threaten from distance. Ethiopia Nigd Bank fared no better, also finishing the match with 0 shots on target and 0 total attempts, leaving them too without a recognised leader in efforts on goal.

Face-to-face:

Passing accuracy told a similar story of attacking play that never really got going. Hadiya Hosaena completed 0 passes with an overall pass accuracy of 0%, and not a single key pass was registered by any of their players. Ethiopia Nigd Bank’s figures mirrored those of their hosts: 0 total passes, 0% accuracy and 0 key passes, highlighting just how disjointed and direct the match became from both sides.
