Saint George SC 0–0 Fasil Kenema
Ethiopia Premier League | June 14, 2026
Saint George SC and Fasil Kenema played out a gripping goalless draw in the Ethiopia Premier League, a result that leaves both clubs still in contention for the title race. With so much at stake, the match was tense, physical, and ultimately lacking the final moment of quality that could have decided it.
Match Overview
Saint George, playing in front of their passionate home support, started aggressively and looked to press Fasil Kenema high up the pitch. The visitors, however, were well organised and absorbed the early pressure before growing into the game. The second half was an open affair with end-to-end action, but goalkeepers and defenders stood tall.
Key Moments
- 22’ – Saint George striker Abubeker Nassir chested down a long ball and volleyed just over the bar from 14 yards.
- 54’ – Fasil Kenema’s winger Yednekatchew Shimeles cut inside and forced a sharp save from Saint George goalkeeper Abel Mamo.
- 71’ – A free header from a corner by Fasil Kenema defender Aschalew Tamene went straight at the goalkeeper.
- 90+3’ – Saint George substitute Tekle Kiros saw his shot cleared off the line in stoppage time.
Standout Players
Saint George goalkeeper Abel Mamo produced a man-of-the-match display with several crucial stops, including a point-blank save in the second half. Fasil Kenema’s centre-back Suleman Hamid was immense, winning every aerial duel and organising the backline superbly.
Title Race Impact
The stalemate means both teams remain within striking distance of the leaders. Saint George are third, two points off the top, while Fasil Kenema sit fourth, just a point further back. With several matches left, this draw could prove crucial in the final standings, especially if the title race goes down to goal difference.
