Newly introduced Championship of African Nations (CHAN) Cameroon suffered a shock 2-0 loss at home to DR Congo on Saturday in the first leg of the final qualification round of the tournament.
Lofo Bengeli and Mbemza Bedi scored in the second half, to give the visiting Congolese a famous win, at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in Yaounde, the Cameroonian capital.
Bengeli opened scoring from the penalty spot, after a team-mate was fouled inside the box, before Bedi wrapped up the away victory with a superb strike in the 65th minute.
The return leg clash will be played in Lubumbashi on December 13, with the overall winner advancing to the final tournament in Ivory Coast, beginning February 23. In continuation of the competition, which is reserved for players featuring in the domestic leagues, Ghana host Nigeria on Sunday in Accra, and Guinea welcome Senegal to Conakry.
