Washington DC
- Ethiopia defeated whipping boys Djibouti 5-0 on Monday in its first international football match since June 2008. The big win puts Ethiopia first ahead of Zambia in Group A with a goal differential.

The game was scoreless in the first half and Ethiopia unleashed its offensive attack scoring all five goals in the second half. Ethiopia's Aklilu Ayenew scored the first goal five minutes into the second half. Then 10 minutes later Adane Girma scored the second goal, according to BBC Sport.

Ethiopia is in group A along with Zambia, Djibouti and Kenya. Ethiopia leads the group with a 5-0 win over Djibouti today. Ethiopia will next play Zambia on December 2 and faces Kenya on December 4.

Ethiopia played Djibouti last in 2006, when it trashed it 4-0 in Addis Ababa. In 2005, Ethiopia again trashed Djibouti 6-0 in Kigali, Rwanda in CECAFA Cup.

FIFA ranks Ethiopia 131 in the World just ahead of Yemen and Djibouti ranks dead last at 185 in the world sharing the place with the Pacific Islands of Cook Islands and Guam.
