Algeria confirmed their early exit from the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations when they went down 2-0 against Togo at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium on Saturday night.
.
A first goal from Emmanuel Adebayor and a late second half strike from substitute Dove Wome was enough to seal the win for the Sparrow Hawks in a match they had to absorb a lot of pressure.
.
The Algerians took the initiative in the early stages of the match and should have taken the lead in the 14th minute when Sofiane Feghouli released Islam Silimani on the right side of the box, but he flashed his shot wide.
.
2 minutes later Moustapha Salifou picked out Adebayor at the far post and the lanky stricker was able to outjump Essaid Balkalem, only to send his header wide of the post.
.
The match was interrupted when one of the goalposts had to be replaced, but it was Togo who looked sharp when play resumed as Wome ran onto a through-pass before placing his low shot past the goalkeeper.
I hate the way the Algerians started playing rough immediately they conceeded the first goal.It was annoying.congratz to Togo
