Switzerland defender Patrick Muller accused Togo's Emmanuel Adebayor of "looking for a penalty" in the World Cup Group G match won 2-0 by the Swiss on Monday.

Togo had a strong claim for a penalty in the first-half when Arsenal player Adebayor tumbled under a challenge from Muller who stuck out a leg as the Togo man wrong-footed him.

Muller admitted that contact had been made between the players but accused Adebayor of overplaying the incident.

"The referee (Paraguayan Carlos Amarilla) could have given it or he could not have given it," said 29-year-old Muller. "He had just a moment to decide what he was going to do.

"It was a very close decision and there was a slight contact.

"But Adebayor was looking for a penalty and that's what he does."

Goals from Alexander Frei and Tranquillo Barnetta ensured the Swiss won the fixture 2-0 in a result that eliminated Togo from the race for the knockout stages of the tournament.
