PL 23/24 | Dire Dawa mark their return to home town with a victory

Second round action of the Ethiopian Premier League resumed today as Dire edge Hambericho while Ethiopia Medhin and Bahir Dar shared the spoils.

In what was the very first competitive game at the newly inaugurated Dire Dawa International Stadium there was nothing to separate Ethiopia Medhin and Bahir Dar Ketema.

Bahir Dar Ketema named Mujib Kassim from the onset to make his full debut for his new side while Ethiopia Medhin who are very active in the ongoing transfer market were unable to name any of their new faces.

In what was a very cagey affair a stalemate was a fair result for both sides, the draw saw Ethiopia Medhin remaining 13th while Bahir Dar are 7th in the log.

In the late kickoff that was abounded for 37 minutes due to heavy rain Dire mark their returm to their own back Yard with a hard earned three points against relegation threatened Hambericho Durame.

The youngster Zeray Gebreselasie who was on from the start made the difference for his side as his 63rd minute strike was enough for his side to clinch crucial three points that saw them moving into 8th place with 22 points.
