Fasil Ketema vs Sidama Bunna Match Recap - Oct 29, 2025

In a tightly contested Premier League match held at Fasiledes Stadium on October 29, Fasil Ketema secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Sidama Bunna. The match was a crucial encounter for both teams, with Fasil Ketema looking to improve their standing after a shaky start to the season, while Sidama Bunna aimed to maintain their impressive form in the league.

The decisive moment came in the 16th minute when an unknown player from Fasil Ketema found the back of the net. This early goal set the tone for the remainder of the match, as Fasil Ketema took a confident lead. Following this goal, Sidama Bunna, who had entered the match with a perfect record of two wins in two games, pressed for an equalizer. However, their attempts were met with a resilient Fasil Ketema defense that effectively absorbed the pressure throughout the match.

Despite dominating possession and creating several chances, Sidama Bunna struggled to break through. Their frustration was palpable as they faced a determined home side that fought to protect their lead. Each attack from Sidama Bunna was countered with sharp defensive play from Fasil Ketema, who seemed inspired by the home crowd. The stakes were high, as both teams needed points to bolster their league positions, making every moment even more critical.

With the victory, Fasil Ketema climbed to 6th place, now boasting 4 points after three matches, with one win and one draw. Their performance showcased the potential they had shown in their previous match, a commendable 2-0 victory against Welwalo Adigrat University. This win not only provides a boost in confidence but also signals that Fasil Ketema is beginning to find their rhythm in the league.

Conversely, Sidama Bunna dropped to 3rd place, still holding 6 points but now facing the reality of their first defeat this season. Their previous victories, including an impressive 4-1 win against Welwalo Adigrat University, had placed them at the top of the table, but this loss raises questions about their ability to maintain that momentum. The team will need to regroup quickly as they prepare for their next match against Welayta Dicha on November 4.

Reflecting on my earlier match preview, I speculated that as an underdog, Fasil Ketema would need to find a way to disrupt Sidama Bunna's rhythm. It appears they not only succeeded but did so while managing to assert their own style on the game. While I expected a dramatic clash, perhaps I underestimated the spark Fasil Ketema would find at home, especially against a team that had looked nearly invincible.

As both teams look ahead, Fasil Ketema hopes to build on this win when they face Suhul Shire on November 2. This victory could be just what they needed to gain momentum in the league. For Sidama Bunna, the challenge will be to bounce back quickly and reclaim their place among the league's elite. With the season still in its early stages, the battle for supremacy in the Premier League continues, and both teams have plenty left to prove.
