CBE defeats Ethiopian Coffee 2-0 in league season opener

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia – The Addis Ababa City Cup winner Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE) defeated Ethiopian Coffee in the 2014/15 Ethiopian Premier League season opener here today.

This marked the second time that the two teams met this week, first in the Addis Ababa City Cup final on Tuesday where Ethiopian Coffee lost 5-6 on penalty kicks,

Coffee’s chance came in the 85th minuted when Aschalew Girma was brought down in the penalty box, however his kick saved by CBE’s goalie.
