In a crucial 2025 AFCON qualifier, Togo secured a heroic 2-2 draw in Malabo against Equatorial Guinea. Despite being in the midst of a rebuilding phase, the “Hawks” showed character and resilience, coming back twice and making the most of their limited opportunities. The Togolese team capitalized on their few shots on goal, in contrast to Equatorial Guinea, who, despite having numerous chances, only managed to score twice.

One of the keys to Togo’s success was their ability to quickly fall back after each attacking attempt. Despite the constant pressure from the Nzalang Nacional, the Togolese side remained organized and effective in defense, closing spaces and minimizing threats in their area. Luis Miguel Nlavo put Equatorial Guinea ahead in the 17th minute after a corner, but Roger Aholou equalized just before halftime, taking advantage of one of the few clear chances for the visitors.

Although Yannick Buyla put the hosts ahead again in the 75th minute, Togo did not give up. Despite having less possession and fewer chances, the “Hawks” managed to equalize in added time (90+3), with Laba Kodjo Fo-Doh scoring from a controversial corner. The play sparked debate, as without the presence of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) systems, it was unclear if the ball truly warranted going out for a corner. However, the goal stood, sealing a dramatic draw.

This result represents a significant achievement for Togo, who now have two draws in these qualifiers, the first against Liberia. Coach Nibombé Daré highlighted his team’s defensive ability and tactical discipline, particularly their skill in retreating and frustrating the Guinean attacks. Djene Dakonam, the team captain, also celebrated the hard-earned point under difficult circumstances.
