Ethiopian Coffee kept up their impressive form despite a two-week break in action from the Ethiopian Premier League which continued with its 20th round on Friday. Coffee now sit fourth following a win over Sihul Shire at the Adama Science and Technology Stadium.
Netsanet Kibre’s charges built on their good form to beat struggling side Sihul Shire 1-0. Ghanaian forward Konkoni Hafiz scored the solitary goal early in the first half. Hafiz headed home to finish up a brilliant counter attack goal from the Browns, leaving the Addis Ababa fourth with 29 points.
In another fixture from Friday, Wolwalo Adigrat University held Sidama Coffee to a one all draw. Habtamu Tadesse’s first half goal was cancelled out by Dawa Hotessa five minutes before time.
Adama Ketema ended their six-game winless run as they conquered Ethio Electric 2-0. Former Jimma Aba Jifar striker Ame Mohammed was the hero for the away side after bagging a brace.
Ethio Electric are seventh with 25 points while Sidama are 11th a point behind. Adama Ketema, Sihul Shire and Wolwalo Adigrat are still in the relegation zone with 19, 15 and 8 points respectively.
