It’s a historic qualification for Togo. After participating in the CAN seven times, the Eperviers have finally reached the second round. In a crucial match against the Eagles of Carthage, the Sparrowhawks secured a draw (1-1), opening the door to the quarter-finals.
Serge Gakpé emerged as a standout player during this highly decisive match. The FC Nantes striker, well launched by Adebayor, showcased his skill by deceiving Ben Cherifia with a cross shot to score the opening goal (1-0, 13th minute). This achievement marks a significant milestone for Togolese football and the dedicated efforts of the team.
