Togo secured a 2-1 victory against DR Congo in Lomé on Sunday, in a match that counted for the last day of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers. Lalawélé Atakora and Backer Aloenouvor were the goal-scorers for the Eperviers, while Ebunga Simbi managed to reduce the score for the Leopards in the second half.
This win marked Togo’s first victory in the qualifiers, with their previous success against Cameroon (2-0) being nullified by FIFA due to the use of a suspended player.
Both Togo and DR Congo will not progress to the play-offs of the competition, concluding their World Cup qualifying campaigns. The match featured impressive goals, including a magnificent volley from Backer Aloenouvor.
