AFCON 2024 – Gr F: no winner between Morocco and DR Congo (video)

The clash of the 2nd day of Group F of AFCON 2024, played at Laurent Pokou Stadium in San Pédro, between Morocco and DR Congo, ended in a draw (1-1).

While the Moroccans’ goal was secured by PSG defender Achraf Hakimi , the Congolese responded first with a missed penalty by Bakambu before equalizing through the Stuttgart striker, Silas .

Thus, the Congolese dealyed the direct qualification of the Atlas Lions for the round of 16 of the prestigious tournament, which they have not won since… 1976!

Absent during the last AFCON, this match against Morocco undoubtedly does not come at the best time for Sébastien Desabre’s team, in full quest for confidence, since the Leopards, and with a series of four matches without a win, could have hope for a better result but the defence showed some worrying signs of feverishness.
