It appears that Togo faced a significant setback in their quest for World Cup qualification, experiencing a disappointing 0-2 loss against Libya in Tripoli. The defeat is described as a match that Togo could not afford to lose, and the disappointment among the team and its supporters is substantial.
The goals that led to Togo’s defeat included a penalty scored by Saleh for Libya in the 7th minute and an unfortunate own goal by Amewou in the 18th minute. With this loss, Togo finds themselves five points behind Libya, who currently leads Group I.
The future of Didier Six, the head coach of the Togo national team, seems to be increasingly uncertain in the face of these challenging results. With one day remaining in the second qualifying round, Togo has a tough road ahead to secure a spot in the next stage of the World Cup qualifiers. The five-point gap will likely pose a significant challenge for Togo’s aspirations, and the team may need a strong performance in the remaining matches to turn the situation around.
