Ethiopia Insurance beat Hadiya Hossana 1-0 in the only fixture of the Ethiopia Premier League on Friday.
It was a very competitive battle with Insurance in great form and looking to get back to winning ways.
There were no goals in the first half as both sides went into the break goalless.
The second half had more fireworks from Ethiopian Insurance but they only managed a breakthrough late in the game.
Wogene Gezahegn scored with the only goal of the game on 82 minutes, but it was enough to earn his team three points.
Ethiopian Insurance move up to 8th position on 40 points with Hadiya Hossana dropping to 10th place with 38 points.
Insurance could probably have been in the title race if it wasn't for their dismal start to the campaign.
Both sides have one more game to play next weekend to end the season and they are both poised for a mid-table finish.
Hadiya Hossana face Ethiopia Coffee while Ethiopian Insurance square up against Ethiopia Nigd Bank in the final games of the season.
