Ball possession:

The scoreline was decisive even in a contest that, by the numbers, appeared surprisingly muted. Official post‑match data listed ball possession as level – Mekelle Kenema 0, Arba Minch Kenema 0 – and recorded no shots on target and no attempts on goal for either side. While those figures clearly reflect incomplete or unavailable statistical tracking rather than the true flow of the game, they underline how little clear‑cut information was captured from this final‑day fixture.

Passes:

What was not in doubt was the outcome. Arba Minch Kenema struck twice, once in each half, capitalising on Mekelle’s defensive lapses and moments of hesitation. The hosts, already with little to play for in terms of the table, struggled to create sustained pressure and never found a way back after falling behind.

Defense:

### Goals make the difference

Face-to-face:

With neither team able to register a shot on target in the official stats, the decisive moments came from Arba Minch’s superior composure in advanced areas and their ability to punish errors. A well‑timed run and tidy finish broke the deadlock, before a second goal after the interval effectively killed the contest and silenced the home crowd.
