Togo host Congo at the Stade de Kegue in Lome for 2022 World qualifiers matchday 3. Both sides remained winless after playing to a 1-1 draw this Saturday.

The visitors broke the deadlock after 21 minutes when Togolese midfielder Jacques-Alaixys Romao scored into his own net. This unfortunately happened when the midfielder was tying to cut out a cross from Ravy Tsouka Dozi.

Before that, both teams had chances to score with Togo’s Ihlas Bebou coming close with a shot on the half turn which was turned behind by a finger tip save from the keeper. Congo’s Gaius Makouta also had a chance with a shot that was deflected for a corner.

After going behind, the Sparrowhawks of Togo had a great chance to get back on level terms. But Congolese keeper Christoffer Mafoumbi made a brilliant one handed save to deny David Henen’s well taken curling shot.
