Ball possession:

Despite the final scoreline, the match in Adigrat was more about discipline and defensive structure than attacking fluency. Both sides struggled to impose themselves in open play, with the game frequently breaking down in midfield and clear-cut chances at a premium.

Passes:

Welwalo struck at key moments in each half, punishing defensive lapses from Ethiopia Nigd Bank and making the most of their few meaningful attacking opportunities. The hosts showed greater composure in the final third and were rewarded with a goal in the first period before effectively killing the contest after the interval with a second.

Defense:

Ethiopia Nigd Bank, meanwhile, enjoyed spells of territorial pressure but lacked incision, struggling to break down a compact Welwalo back line. Their attacking play too often fizzled out on the edge of the penalty area as they were repelled by well-timed interceptions and solid positional play from the hosts.
