After the match Togo-Congo DR it was learned that there had been trouble in both camps.
A twist between star Adebayor and coach Keshi was the background for Adebayor only playing the last 30 Minutes and threatening he would leave the team the next day. He did not, saying it was the wish of his mother.

Unpaid bonuses led to a strike in the Congo camp which was eventually not upheld for the match itself. A phonecall 10 minutes before the game to encourage the players was received from president Joseph Kabila, the son of the former president Laurent-Desiré Kabila. It is recommended to read the background on Wikipedia here.
