In a surprising turn of events, Aloenouvo Backer scored the winning goal for Togo in the 93rd minute, breaking the expectation of a draw in the match. This late goal secured a victory for Togo against DR Congo. The goal proved to be a turning point, causing frustration for the DR Congo technical staff to the extent that they refused to answer questions from journalists in the press conference room.
Notably, this was the first official match for the Togo technical staff since the departure of Claude Leroy, who left after the elimination of the DR Congo national team. The late goal and the subsequent reaction added a dramatic element to the match, leaving an impact on both teams and their coaching staff.
