In a comeback victory, DR Congo defeated Guinea 3-1 to secure a spot in the semi-finals of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Guinea initially took the lead with Mohamed Bayo converting a 20th-minute penalty after a foul by Chancel Mbemba.
However, Mbemba swiftly equalized with a goal from a narrow angle seven minutes later. DR Congo turned the game around in the second half, earning a penalty when Julian Jeanvier fouled Silas.
Brentford forward Yoane Wissa successfully converted the penalty, giving the Leopards a 2-1 lead with 25 minutes remaining.
Guinea struggled to respond, and DR Congo sealed the victory when Arthur Masuaku’s free-kick caught out Guinea’s goalkeeper Ibrahim Kone at his near post.
Having drawn all four of their previous games and triumphing over Egypt on penalties in the last 16, DR Congo now prepares for their first semi-final appearance since finishing third in 2015.
They will face the winners of the quarter-final between Mali and hosts Ivory Coast in the last four on Wednesday.
