Kedus Giorgis vs Sheger Ketema Match Recap - Nov 3, 2025

In a tense encounter at Addis Abeba Stadium, Sheger Ketema secured their first win of the season with a narrow 1-0 victory over Kedus Giorgis on November 3, 2025. The match, part of the Premier League (Ethiopia) regular season, was marked by a solitary goal just after halftime that shifted the momentum for both teams.

The game began with Kedus Giorgis, who had entered the match riding high on two consecutive victories, looking to extend their winning streak. Their recent form suggested confidence; they had managed to keep clean sheets in both previous matches. However, as the first half unfolded, it became clear that Sheger Ketema was determined to turn around their fortunes after a disappointing start to the season.

Despite Kedus Giorgis' early pressure and attempts to control possession, they struggled to break down Sheger's defense. The visitors held firm and absorbed the pressure well, showcasing resilience that had been missing in their earlier outings. The first half ended without any goals, but both teams knew that adjustments were needed for a breakthrough.

As play resumed after the break, it took only two minutes for Sheger Ketema to find the net. An unknown player scored in the 47th minute, sending shockwaves through the home crowd and igniting celebrations among Sheger's supporters. This goal not only lifted Sheger's spirits but also placed them in a commanding position against a team that had been performing well.

Following the goal, Kedus Giorgis intensified their efforts to equalize. They pushed forward relentlessly but found themselves thwarted by a disciplined Sheger defense and some crucial saves from their goalkeeper. As time ticked away, frustration mounted for Kedus as they failed to convert several promising chances into goals.

This result is significant for both teams in terms of league standings. With this victory, Sheger Ketema climbs out of the bottom of the table and gains vital momentum moving forward. They now have four points from three matches played (1W-1D-1L), while Kedus Giorgis, despite suffering their first defeat of the season, remains in seventh place with six points from three matches (2W-0D-1L).

Reflecting on my pre-match predictions-where I anticipated an easy win for Kedus Giorgis-I must admit I misjudged Sheger's resolve and ability to bounce back from adversity. Their performance today showcased not only tactical discipline but also an unwavering spirit that could signal a turning point in their campaign.

Looking ahead, Kedus Giorgis will need to regroup quickly as they prepare for an away match against Bahardar on November 8. They will be eager to return to winning ways and maintain their aspirations for higher league positions. Meanwhile, Sheger Ketema will host Hadiya Hosaena on November 9 with newfound confidence; if they can build on this victory, they may very well shift their season narrative from struggle to resurgence.

In football-as in life-every match tells a story of hope and redemption. Today's clash was no different; it served as a reminder that even when faced with challenges, determination can lead to triumphs unexpected yet deeply rewarding.
