Ethiopian Premier League Update: Ethiopia Nigd Bank Takes Lead as Bahir Dar Ketema Honors Fallen Player

In the latest round of matches in the Ethiopian premier league, Ethiopia Nigd Bank gained an advantage with a draw between Kidus Giorgis and Mechal, while Bahir Dar Ketema won against Shashemene Ketema.

The highly anticipated game between Kidus Giorgis and Mechal ended in a goalless draw due to windy and rainy conditions, making it difficult for both teams to play their best. This result was good news for Ethiopia Nigd Bank, who had won their previous match, allowing them to maintain their top spot in the league with 40 points. Mechal stayed in second place, tied on points with inferior goal difference, while Kidus Giorgis remained in third place with 38 points.

In a later match, Bahir Dar Ketema defeated Shashemene Ketema 1-0 as a tribute to their late midfielder, Alelgn Azene. Before the game, Bahir Dar Ketema wore black shirts and Alelgn's jersey in his memory. In the 39th minute, Cherenet Gugsa scored the winning goal, lifting his team to fifth place in the league standings with 32 points.
