The Ethiopians dominated the second half, securing their two goals. The first came via a penalty in injury time, putting the game beyond doubt, and the second was scored in the 54th minute. Adama Kenema had a strong start, but saw their hopes dashed by a series of red cards for both sides. The red cards in the opening stages of the match took the game in a new direction.
Both teams seemed to approach the game with a measured intensity, with neither side looking to risk a fast start. There were some impressive moments of skill and speed from both sides but the Ethiopian's two goals in the second half proved to be the difference.
