Togo v Tunisia ratings

Gakpe: Took his goal well

Take a look at our player breakdown of Togo and Tunisia during their Africa Cup of Nations Group D clash.

------------------------------------------------------------

Togo

Kossi Agassa: Didn't have too much to do in the Togo goal until late on when he made an excellent double save to help secure his side a 1-1 draw. 7/10

Dakonam Djene: Had a solid game in defence for Togo, was rarely threatened and provided a good outlet going forward. 6/10

Dare Nibombe: Big strong defender, who conceded two penalties while otherwise having a solid game in defence. 5/10

Vincent Bossou: Solid in defence, won all his headers and marshalled his backline well. 7/10

Serge Akakpo: Also had a good game in defence, rarely put a foot wrong all night. 7/10

Abdoul-Gafar Mamah: Quiet game for Togo, with a few misplaced passes, but was strong in the tackle in midfield. 5/10

Komi Amewou: Provided Togo's attackers with plenty to feed off of, a strong runner who kept his side's shape well in the middle of the park. 6/10

Floyd Ayite: Had an excellent game in attack for Togo as he linked up well with Emmanuel Adebayor. Unlucky not to get on the scoresheet. 7/10

Alaixys Romao: Made some excellent passes to his fellow attackers, but often caught offside when Togo broke forward. 7/10

Emmanuel Adebayor: Had an immense game, and was unlucky not to have had two penalties. Provided the assist for the Togo goal. 9/10

Serge Gakpe: Took his chance well and linked up nicely with Adebayor all night. 8/10

Substitutes

Dove Wome: Came on the in dying seconds. Didn't do enough to warrant a rating. N/A

Jonathan Ayite: Came on with 15 minutes to go and provided fresh impetus in attack for Togo. 7/10

Sadat Ouro-Akoriko: Came on to add cover in defence but did little to effect the outcome of this game. N/A

Tunisia

Moez Ben Cherifa: Was generally solid in goal for Tunisia. Should have been penalised for upending Adebayor in the box though. 6/10

Walid Hichri: Was solid in defence and also provided a good outlet for the Tunisian's going forward. 6/10

Aymen Abdennour: Had an excellent game for Tunisia and marshalled Adebayor well all night. 7/10

Khalil Chammam: Had a quiet game, got beaten a few times out wide, allowing Togo to break forward. 5/10

Wahbi Khazri: Was too easily bundled off the ball, but was good going forward with his tricky, jinking runs. 6/10

Khaled Mouelhi: Scored and missed a penalty, played his target man role well. Will be bitterly disappointed he didn't win this match for his side. 8/10

Mejdi Traoui: Played some neat incisive passing in the midfield, was always positive going forward and tacked back well. 6/10

Chadi Hammami: Little to report but put in a number of good crosses that were not converted.

Oussama Darragi: Was excellent in the air and worked hard all night, came close to scoring on two occasions. 7/10

Youssef Msakni: Had a solid game, put in some good deliveries and supported his frontmen well. 6/10

Saber Khelifa: Hard runner who cause more than a few problems for Togo before tiring late on. 7/10

Substitutes

Fakhreddine Ben Youssef: Had four minutes of game time and nearly scored twice, an excellent cameo. 8/10

Zouheir Dhaouadi: Came on and added some much-needed steel for Tunisia, as well as some good forward balls. 6/10
