Despite a promising start for Bahir Dar Kenema FC as they scored the first goal in just over 2 minutes, the match tilted toward Ethiopia Nigd Bank SA in the latter part of the first half.

Bahir Dar Kenema FC's early goal didn't seem to intimidate Ethiopia Nigd Bank SA, who recovered swiftly and levelled the score at the 26th minute. The second half saw Ethiopia Nigd Bank SA take control of the match by striking the decisive second goal at the 72nd minute. Their patience and determination were evident in their second-half performance.

Discipline, however, was significant and conspicuous by its absence, especially in the home team, receiving a total of 6 yellow cards with four of the cards issued during the critical minutes of the game. These incidents might have disrupted Bahir Dar Kenema FC's rhythm and impacted their match strategy, ultimately leading to a potential outcome-changing goal in the second half.
