Facts going into the game:
-
First match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup African qualification Group A
-
This is the first time that Ethiopia and Sierra Leone have played against each other, they have never faced one another in football.
Half time, still 0-0. That was a fun sequence at the end with the number 8 of Sierra Leone just deciding “screw it, i will do it myself” and dodging 4 opponents, even leaving 1 in the floor. Jokes aside, yeah, Ethiopia probably need to rethink their defensive tactics because Sierra Leone are taking a lot of advantages of their mistakes there plus their own improvisation so yep, Ethiopia better find some way to not get put in so many problems, else it might end ugly for them. As for Sierra Leone, not bad from what i managed to see (entered in like minute 20 or so) in defense and progressing the ball for offense, specially the last 10 minutes with how Ethiopia didnt get that many shots. Just a bit more luck and they might find a goal.
