Ball possession:

The scoreline belonged to a classic away performance: resolute, organised and clinical at the key moments. While the raw statistical feed from this fixture is incomplete – officially listing both sides at 0% possession, 0 total passes and no registered shots on or off target – the result itself tells the more important story. Arba Minch Kenema capitalised on their chances, while Mekelakeya were left to rue a lack of cutting edge at the end of a long league campaign.

Defense:

This round‑34 encounter carried the hallmarks of a tense final‑day meeting. Mekelakeya, roared on by their home support, sought to press high and force errors, but Arba Minch Kenema were compact, content to absorb pressure and then break forward in numbers.

Face-to-face:

Despite the statistical record listing both teams with 0 shots and 0 on target, Arba Minch Kenema found the moments that mattered, striking twice to overturn Mekelakeya’s lone reply. The visitors’ goals owed much to their cleaner decision‑making in the final third and their ability to turn half‑chances into clear opportunities, while Mekelakeya’s attacks often broke down before a telling effort could be produced.
