An entertaining match bewteen two teams with strengths and weaknesses, in which DR Congo had more from the first and Togo more from the second.
DR Congo playing with vision, combinating well and impressed with relatively small players from their home league and european 2nd rank, guided by their inspirational captain Lualua.
It was a match of inoumerous big chances from which DR Congo had the majority. Conspicious too their weaknesses in the back, where the players had great skills with the balls but not always in marking.
Too many chances were missed oin both sides but eventually the better team scored through Mputu ('45) and Lualua ('64) and hit the goal post another two times..
Togo played 60 minutes without key figure Adebayor, which was first explained as a stomach problem. This revelaed itself as an argument between coach Keshi and the new Arsenal recruit.
In the 30 minutes of his play it showed that the Congolese defenders are rather small nagainst physically strong attackers and should avoid corner kicks and free kick crosses as well.
