Agbeniadan Komlan’s 92nd minute strike rescued a point for Togo in 2-2 draw with Comoros in an international friendly Friday 11 at Stade El Menzah, Tunisia.
The coach Claude Le Roy’s side went ahead through Floyd Ayite’s 37th minute effort, but a double from Ben Mohamed El Fardou in the 42nd and 70th minutes gave the islanders a deserved lead, and hope for a major international upset, but that will have to wait longer.
Substitute Agbeniadan managed to squeeze a last gasp equalizer to preserve the Frenchman’s 100% record with the Sparrow Hawks.
Unlike Togo who are shaping-up for the up-coming Nations Cup January 2017 in Gabon, Comoros are molding a future team with an eye on 2019 AFCON in Cameroon.
Togo’s last international outing was a 1-0 win at home to Uganda in a warm-up in October, while Comoros lost to the same opponent in the AFCON 2017 qualifiers last bend in September.
Comoros will play Gabon Tuesday 15 in their next friendly in Tunisia.
