Ball possession:

The match, which ended level after both teams found the net once, was a contest defined more by defensive organisation and physical duels than by attacking fluency or sustained pressure in the final third. Neither side was able to assert clear dominance in terms of ball possession or create a consistent flow of chances, and in the end the spoils were shared in Addis Ababa.

Passes:

### Cagey contest with little attacking rhythm

Defense:

Both Mekelakeya and Suhul Shire struggled to take control of the tempo.

Face-to-face:

That lack of rhythm was reflected in the shooting numbers. Mekelakeya failed to register a single shot on target, finishing with 0 attempts on goal overall. No player stood out as a consistent threat, with the “most active” in terms of attempts not statistically recorded.
