The summary of the game
Well into the game after the kick-off, the Congolese quickly took the game to their account. Monopolizing the ball in the opposing half of the field, the colts of Hector Cupper provided themselves with good opportunities, like a heavy strike from Akolo who failed closely on a cross from Bolasia. A domination that finally paid off with the opener in the 23rd minute. A goal signed by the returning Dieumerci Mbokani who takes advantage of a good service from Cédric Bakambu to celebrate his return to the Leopards with dignity after 4 years of absence.
But the joy of the Congolese will be short-lived since in the process, the visiting team glued to the mark. Wydad Casablanca striker Simon Msuva took advantage of a Congolese ball loss to equalize on a sublime long shot with the help of the bar (1-1, 35th). A score that will remain unchanged until the final whistle despite the many offensives of the Leopards in the second half.
The DRC therefore conceding the draw will have to do better next Monday on the occasion of the second day against Benin, slayer of Madagascar (0-1) this afternoon in Antananarivo. Malagasy and Tanzanians will face each other in the other meeting of this day.
