Togo vs Benin
Match Report
Togo produced a dominant showing in Morocco, dismantling Benin 5-1 in an international friendly. After falling behind early, the Éperviers rallied brilliantly to seal one of their most convincing recent results.
Dokou Dodo gave the Guépards a flying start, breaking the deadlock in just the 7th minute. Togo levelled through an own goal in the 39th, sending both sides into the break at 1-1. The game shifted decisively in the 51st minute when a red card changed the complexion of the contest; Togo capitalised ruthlessly from that point, netting four more times in the second half — with goals at the 58th, 68th, 74th, and 88th minutes.
The result is a timely morale boost for Togo, who showed real character and attacking depth after conceding first. Benin, promising in the early stages, will have serious concerns about defensive fragility and discipline as they prepare for upcoming challenges.
