Dedebit beat Ethio-Electric 2-0 at Addis Stadium Sunday 18th to move joint top of the Ethiopian Premier League with 11 points same as Adama City and Kidus Giorgis.
Two second half goals from veteran midfielder Asrat Megersa in the 59th minute and red hot Getaneh Kebede in the 64th sealed the victory.
Kebede, who returned to the Blues at the beginning of the season has now scored in all the last six fixtures, and is leading the top scorers’ chart with 6 goals.
Defending champions Kidus Giorgis were held to a barren draw by Sidama Bunna in Yirgalem – extending their winless streak to three matches.
Angry fans vented their anger after the match by blocking the team bus from leaving the stadium – demanding answers about the recent rough patch.
The coach Martin Noolj’s charges were tactically subdued by Sidama whose tight defense marshaled by Kenyan defender Sunday Mutuko effortless dealt with long balls the “horsemen” deployed.
Salhadin Said showed flashes of brilliance for the visitors but his troubles were not good enough. On the other end, Sidama’s young striker Addis Gidey was unlucky to hit the woodwork twice.
In another match, Woliata Dicha shared spoils with visiting Ethiopian Bunna in a 1-1 draw in Sodo.
Bezabhe Meleyu put the hosts ahead in the 67th minute after a balanced first half, but Bunna left it late to burst their bubble with an equalizer, which Abdulkarim Muhammad delivered in the 81st minute.
Adama City edged Woldia City 1-0 to move joint top of the log. Sisay Toli’s lone goal six minutes into play made all the difference.
