Ethiopia Football: Trans takes on Fincha, Coffee & Defence share lead

Adigrat – The Trans Ethiopia vs Fincha Sugar match was supposed to take place on Sunday, but it has been postponed and will take place here tomorrow.

Meanwhile, EthioSports.com would like to rectify an error in our report yesterday indicating that Defence Force was trailing Ethiopian Coffee by one point when in actuality the two teams share the lead in the Ethiopian Premier League, having the same points and goal differences. We failed to include Defence’s match against EEPCO, which ended in a 1-1 draw .

So, this is how the two teams stand after Week 8:

We put Ethiopian Coffee’s name first because in the head-to-head match between the two teams in Week 6, Coffee beat Defence 5-3.

Week 8 Sunday’s Results:

Sebeta City 2 Defence Force 3

Scorers: Binyam Assefa & Melake Mesfin for Sebeta –  Chala Deriba, 2 Samuel Degefe for Defence
