The Togolese player, who had been sidelined for several weeks, made a triumphant return to competition, scoring a double in a thrilling match.
After the game, Adebayor dedicated his outstanding performance to his late brother, expressing the challenges of the difficult year: “2013 was difficult. I lost my brother; it was really complicated.

I am also happy for the new manager who has confidence in me,” shared Adebayor.
