Six-goal drama; DR Congo lights AFCON 2015 with style

After weeks of huffs, puffs and whines about poor goal scoring technique in the ongoing AFCON 2015 the first quarter final match between the two Congos came alive with a thoroughly exciting six goal drama with DR Congo making it to the last four.

And all that drama was reserved only for the second half.

DR Congo stunningly came back from two goals down to turn the game on its head and in their favour with a little over 20 minutes remaining.

Goalless it was at halftime and it looked like the neighbours from Central Africa were going to sell the same of what has been the story of the 2015 AFCON in Equatorial Guinea-sublime play, sour finishing.

But the story will change in the second half.
Ferebory Dore capitalised on poor defensive marking in the 55th minute, latching onto a perfect cross  from a set piece to beat Robert Muteba Kidiaba in post for  DR Congo.

Thievy Bofouma increased the tally seven minutes later with a low rebound shot from close range.

Muteba had parried the goal bound shot on the path of Bifouma who struck it low but hard beating two DR Congo defenders who had all their legs stretched but could not stop another disaster.

Congo Brazzaville were up by two goals and did not look like a side crumbling. Coach Claude Le Roy who formally led DR Congo into the 2012 AFCON appeared to have read the game of his former side quite well and looked more like continuing the fairy tale run of the Brazzaville.
