Togo and Kenya met in Lomé at Kégué stadium on Monday for the Afcon Group G qualifiers. Though the Harambee Stars won 2-1 over the Sparrowhawks, both teams couldn’t make it to Cameroon 2022.

However Togo legend Emmanuel Adebayor has challenged Harambee Stars players to chase their dreams despite the hurdles that may come their way.

One of the players in the room has now revealed to Goal what the 37-year-old told them.

“We started from somewhere and found our way. It was not easy but we made it.” Adebayor said.

“So I just want to tell you guys to believe in your dreams. No matter what, give it your 100%. Nobody knows what tomorrow is made of. You can become a hero or become a villain. Put all your chances on your side to become a hero.”

After Monday’s results, Kenya ended their unsuccessful campaign to Cameroon in third position in their group with seven points that came from four draws, a win and a loss. They managed to score seven goals and conceded as many.

Togo had to be content with a place at the bottom of the table with just two points that came from draws against Harambee Stars and Comoros respectively.

They scored three goals in the process and conceded eight to end the campaign with a goal difference of negative five.

Seven-time Afcon champions Egypt hammered Comoros 4-0 to top the group with 12 points while the latter came in second with three points less. As a result, they will be part of the teams to take part in the biennial competition.

It is the first time the Islanders will be taking part in the competition.
