Defending champions Togo beat Benin 2-1 on
Thursday in Kumasi to win bronze at the 2013
Wafu Nations Cup.
The Hawks were hungrier than the Squirrels and
shot ahead after the 14th minute from a free-kick.
Kossivi Nouwoklo's kick took a deflection off the
body of a Togo player and that beat goalkeeper
Saturnin Allagbe.
It was a tepid display from the two sides and the
opening goal happened against the run of play.
Man-of-the-match Jodel Dossou drew Benin level
with a powerful and eye-catching strike on 87
minutes.
The Club Africain winger span inside the box on
the left and unleashed a thunderbolt which beat
goalkeeper Djeheni N'Guessan.
It was a fair result for the two teams taking into
account what transpired on the pitch.
After the break, it was the same script as the game
lacked firepower.
When all thought the match was heading for a
draw, a minute of madness by the defenders of
Benin they got punished.
An innocuous cross from the left was connected
by Saibou Badarou and centre-back Rock Durand.
