In a dominant display, Guinea secured a 4-1 victory over Ethiopia, largely due to their quick start and efficient strike force. The match was decided early in the first half with Guinea netting three goals in quick succession. The opening goal at 17:43, followed by goals at 36:49 and 46:17, showcased Guinea's attacking prowess and ability to capitalize on Ethiopia's defensive lapses. Guinea’s fourth goal early in the second half at 47:13 confirmed their dominance and left Ethiopia with a mountain to climb.

Ethiopia's challenges were compounded by their defensive discipline, reflected in two yellow cards and multiple fouls. The first yellow card was issued at 16:33, which came just before Guinea’s opening goal. This defensive frailty was evident throughout the game, as Ethiopia's fouls (12) added to their inability to contain Guinea's attacking threats. Ethiopia did manage to pull a goal back at 52:08, but it was a mere consolation in a game where they were tactically outmaneuvered.

Guinea's cohesive teamwork and tactical discipline were further highlighted by their ability to avoid offsides, whereas Ethiopia was caught offside once. This underlines the home team's superior attacking coordination and execution. Guinea's ability to convert from set-pieces was pivotal, securing four corners compared to Ethiopia's solitary corner, which they failed to convert into significant threats. Despite only committing a slightly lower foul count (11), Guinea’s approach demonstrated controlled aggression, ensuring they remained free of cards throughout the match. This disciplined performance, combined with their lethal finishing, was crucial in securing a convincing victory.
