Nasri again inspires Ethiopia Coffee's win over beat Dire Dawa

Ethiopia Coffee beat Dire Dawa Kenema 3-1 Friday to cut down Fasil's 11 points lead back to 8 in the Betking Ethiopia Premier League clash at the Barhir Dar international Stadium, their last in the city as they get set to move to Hawassa City for the next round of games in April

Abubakher Nasri for Ethiopia Coffee and Junias Nandjebo of Dire Dawa set the pace for an entertaining game as both got on the score sheet in the first two minutes.

Abubakher Nasri began the move on 40 seconds on the edge of the box passing sideways, but once the ball got to Asrat Tunjo on the left, he spotted the run of William Solomon whose cross into the centre was met by Nasri with a downward header, a goal in less than a minute, 57 seconds to be precise.

Junias Nandjebo equalized almost immediately latching onto a looping through ball over the top by Ituamunua Kemuine racing all the way to the Goalkeeper for a cool finish to restore parity.

The same sequence was replayed in the 4th minute with another right-wing cross met by Abubakar Nasri but this time he missed narrowly, and straightway dire Dawa Keeper threw the ball all the way past the centre, and Itamunua Kemuine again, this time with his head set Nanjebo free, his shot as he raced through on goal hitting the post

The firat half ended 1-1 and Ethiopia Coffee shot into the lead 11 minutes into the second half through Asrat Tunjo who collected the ball from Nasri who had just dribbled past two defenders to score.

The third and final goal arrived in the 82nd minute when Alazar Shimless set up Endale Debalke on as a substitute and he turned brilliantly to score.
