The Democratic Republic of Congo’s national football team made an impressive comeback to defeat Guinea 3-1 in the quarter-finals of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, securing a spot in the semi-finals.
Guinea initially took the lead with Mohamed Bayo’s 20th-minute penalty, but DR Congo responded quickly with a goal by Chancel Mbemba, leveling the score.
DR Congo took the lead in the second half with a penalty converted by Yoane Wissa, and Arthur Masuaku’s free-kick sealed the victory, catching Guinea’s goalkeeper off guard.
DR Congo will now wait for the outcome of the quarter-final clash between Mali and hosts Ivory Coast to see who they will face in the semi-finals. This victory marks a significant step forward in DR Congo’s pursuit of the 2023 AFCON title.
