Ya Konan, also dropped to the bench after starting against Togo, sidefooted home the third goal in the 90th minute.

Togo helped the Ivorians to go through to the knockout phase ahead of the final round of group games by beating Tunisia's north African rivals Algeria.

Captain Emmanuel Adebayor scored the opening goal in the 32nd minute to give his team hope of reaching the last eight for the first time, needing only a draw in Wednesday's match against Tunisia.

The match was held up late in the second half when a goal post was knocked over after Algeria's Adlene Guedioura collided with the netting, meaning 13 minutes of added time were played.

Two minutes into that, Dove Wome struck on the counterattack to end Algeria's hopes of going through.

Adebayor has returned to international action after settling a dispute with national team officials.

Togo did not reach the finals of the 2012 tournament, having been reinstated in the qualifiers after initially being banned.

The squad broke rules by withdrawing before the 2010 event in Angola following a gun attack on the team's bus that left three people dead.
