However, this aggression led to drawing two yellow cards, nearly at the start and end of the first half, which indicated their pressure and aggressive tactics. Nevertheless, their determination paid off early in the second half when they managed to score the first goal of the match at 46:09.
In contrast, the home team, Defence Force SC, seemed to play a more cautionary and defensive game focusing on strategic build-ups. Although their approach resulted in fewer corner kicks (2) compared to Hawassa Kenema (3), it significantly kept them out of disciplinary issues as was evident from the lone yellow card they received in the second half at 01:23:52.
