Ethiopia beat fellow 2013 AFCON finalists Niger 1-0 in a warm-up game on Sunday in Addis Ababa.<br /><br />Ethiopia match winner was Getaneh Kebede, who hit target on 37 minutes. The 20-year-old striker from Ethiopian club Dedebit enhanced his growing reputation in front of goal against a Niger side, who were without several top stars including skipper Moussa Maazou.<br /><br />Gebaneh is also the Ethiopian league&rsquo;s current top scorer with nine goals before the two-month AFCON break and was the 2011/2012 season top gun with 20 goals.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Ethiopia will host Guinea in their second pre-AFCON friendly at a date to be announced this week. This was after the proposed game against fellow AFCON finalists Togo was called off for &ldquo;operational reasons&rdquo;.<br /><br />The Walia Antelopes will later travel to Qatar to play Tunisia in their third friendly on January 7 in Doha. Ethiopia are in Group C along with Nigeria, Zambia and Burkina Faso.<br /><b><br />-Thanks to zambianfootball.co.zm</b><br />
