DR Congo secures semi-final slot in afcon 2024 competition.
The Democratic Republic of Congo who were trailing from a goal loss to their Guinean counterparts jumped to beat Guinea 3-1 in their Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final at the Alassane Ouattara Olympic Stadium on Friday to join Nigeria in the last four.
Mbemba, Yoane and Masuaku scored the goals as the Congolese recovered from losing an early penalty to ensure victory and a semi-final for the first time since 2015.
Mbemba had lost a penalty shot when he tricked Mohamed Bayo in the box to allow the Guinea striker to score after 20 minutes but the Congolese skipper corrected his flaw seven minutes later with an excellent finish.
DR Congo then had a penalty in the 65th minute which Wissa tucked away and Masuaku cemented the victory by scoring directly from a free kick which was in close proximity to the touchline eight minutes from time.
Guinea has thus made it into the semi-finals of the Afcon 2024 tournament hoping to lift up the trophy.
