It was 2-0 two minutes later when Ismail Abdullatif made his way into the area from the right before netting with a powerful shot before he scored the third goal with a powerful shot from the edge of the area on 56 minutes.

Togo pulled a goal back through substitute Abdoul Haye before Husain Ali Baba made it 4-1 from a spot kick on 88 minutes. Fatadi scored the fifth from another penalty in the second minute of stoppage time.
