Despite the draw, Togo maintained control throughout the match, holding 53% possession and making 15 attempts on goal, including three shots on target. The result positioned Senegal at the top of the group with four points, while the Hawks secured two points.

Yaw Annor, known for his outstanding performances in the 2021/2022 Ghana Premier League season where he scored an impressive 22 goals, continued to leave an impact on the international stage after joining Egyptian side Ismaily.

The Togolese international, originally from Ghana, had previously made his debut for the Hawks of Togo in a friendly against Equatorial Guinea last year.
