Togo Premier League Approaches Eighth Matchday Amid Exciting Contests
The Togolese top-flight football championship is set to reach its eighth round this weekend, with several key fixtures promising to shake up the standings.
The unbeaten leaders since the start of the season, Semassi of Sokodé, faced a setback on Saturday as they hosted Asko of Kara at home. Semassi suffered their first defeat of the campaign, losing narrowly 1-0, a result that could open the title race.
Another highly anticipated match will take place on Sunday between AS Douanes and reigning champions Anges de Notsé. Both sides have continental experience: Anges de Notsé recently competed in the CAF Champions League, while AS Douanes have represented Togo in the CAF Cup. This encounter is expected to be fiercely contested as both clubs look to assert their dominance domestically and build momentum.
