Ethiopia Coffee piled more misery on Wolkite City with a slim 1-0 win on Sunday and Wolaitta Dicha forced Hadiya Hossana to a 1-1 draw.
Ethiopia Coffee's lone goal was scored in the 33rd minute by Anteneh Tefera, and it was enough to earn the Coffees all three points.
The win does them a world of good, as they increase their points haul from 16 to 19 points.
This moves them to sixth position on the log but equal on points with Fasil Kenema and Bahir Dar City, on 19 points.
They are now just two points behind eternal rivals St George with 21 points, and this should be enough motivation for them to keep going.
Hadiya Hossana and Wolaitta Dicha predictably ended their match in a low-scoring 1-1 draw.
Hadiya Hossana got on the score sheet quite early in the game when Semere Haftey scored in the third minute for their eighth goal of the season.
However, Wolaitta Dicha equalised late in the second half with Abenet Demissi's 77th-minute goal, and it ended 1-1.
Following the stalemate, Wolaitta Dicha are in eighth place with 17 points, one point behind Adama City in seventh place with 18 points.
Hadiya Hossana are in 11th place with 13 points.
