AFCON 2023: DR Congo knock Egypt out after dramatic penalty shootout; Guinea through to quarter-finals 

D.R. Congo knocked out Egypt from the AFCON after defeating them 8-7 on penalties in the round of 16. 

Stade Laurent Pokou was blazing throughout the 120 minutes the game was played. 

Meschack Elia scored to put D.R. Congo into the lead in the 37th minute. He headed home from the six-yard box to score the game’s opening goal. 

The Pharaohs showed what they were made up of by responding to D.R. Congo’s lead in the first half. 

Egypt was awarded a penalty after the VAR review. Attacker Mostafa Mohamed made no mistake as he converted it into the top right corner. Goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi-Nzau was beaten. 

The seven-time champions despite their second-half dominance couldn’t break down the resilient D.R Congo defense.

The game finally traveled to extra time, the very first one of the tournament in Côte D’Ivoire. 

Egypt was reduced to 10 men in the extra time after Hamdi Mohamed was sent off following his second yellow card of the game. 

The numerical disadvantage didn’t prevent Egypt from pressing and creating the chances. 

The game traveled to a shootout and Egypt missed twice from the penalty spot, Mostafa Mohamed and goalkeeper, Gabaski both missed their kicks, and Arthur Masuaku missed his earlier for D.R Congo. 

D.R. Congo won 8-7 on penalties and has progressed to the quarter-finals. 

Egypt has twice failed to advance from the Round of 16 in three previous attempts. D.R. Congo has been eliminated in their first knockout game in their two previous appearances (2019 and 2017). 

Sebastien Desabre’s men will now face Guinea in the last 8.
