The Democratic Republic of Congo defeated Angola 2-0 on Thursday in the penultimate Group A fixture of the African Nations Championship (CHAN 2024), setting up a decisive match against Morocco for a place in the quarterfinals.
After a goalless first half, the Leopards struck twice in the second period, in the 55th and 70th minutes, to secure the win and revive their qualification hopes.
The result eliminated Angola, which finished group play with four points, while Kenya had already booked its quarterfinal ticket with seven points.
Morocco and DR Congo now enter Sunday’s showdown level on points and goal difference (+3).
However, the Atlas Lions hold the edge with a stronger attack, having scored five goals compared to DR Congo’s four.
As a result, a draw would suffice for Morocco to progress, while DR Congo must win to qualify.
