Mali and Ivory Coast, who face each other in a heated quarter-final tomorrow, now know their likely opponent. In a clash between two outsiders heralded for eventual victory, it was DR Congo who fared better against Guinea who nevertheless edged the score. Chancel Mbemba’s men won clearly (3-1) to finally finish in the top 4.

However, the game started badly as Mbemba, guilty of pushing Bayou in the area, won a penalty which the Le Havre striker converted himself (21st). But the OM defender, ever vengeful, did what was necessary to recover with a powerful strike from the left after a corner (27th). In the second period, Congo took the lead, with Masuaku turning the score around in the final minutes (82nd) on a perfectly converted penalty from first Visa (65th). After Nigeria, DR Congo advances to semi-finals of CAN!
In sum
DR Congo negotiate their quarter-final better than Guinea and advance to the last four of CAN 2023! Indeed, Congo will challenge Mali or Ivory Coast to reach the finals of the competition.
