Emmanuel Adebayor returned for Togo after an absence of almost two years for a World Cup qualifier Tuesday but it was Serge Gakpe who scored the only goal in its 1-0 home win over GuineaBissau. Togo's victory in Lome ensured progress to the group phase 2-1 on aggregate after a 1-1 away draw in the first leg last Friday. Tottenham Hotspur striker Adebayor was making his first international appearance since a fatal attack on the team's bus ahead of the 2010 African Nations Cup finals in Angola. He demanded increased security for the squad before agreeing to return. Adebayor's country will be joined in the next stage, which kicks off in June, by Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Kenya, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda and Tanzania. The Democratic Republic of Congo played at the 1974 World Cup finals as Zaire and is also seeking to restore past glories. Its 5-1 win over Swaziland Tuesday ensured an 8-2 aggregate triumph. Namibia recorded an 8-0 aggregate victory over Djibouti after winning 4-0 in Windhoek on Tuesday. Kenya beat Seychelles by the same score in Nairobi for a 7-0 aggregate triumph while Mozambique won 5-1 overall against Comoros Islands. Lesotho upset the form book by eliminating Burundi on the away goals rule. The day's biggest upset was an away draw for tiny Sao Tome e Principe. The former Portuguese colony had not played a match for eight years before Friday's first leg at home to Congo, a game it lost 5-0.But it drew 1-1 in the second.
