DRC defeated Angola 2-0 in a Group A match of the CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) held today, setting the stage for a winner-takes-all clash against Morocco.
The victory, with goals from Jephté Kitambala and Jonathan Mokonzi, moves DRC into second place in the group standings with six points, tied with Morocco. Angola’s campaign, which included a draw and a win, ends after this loss.
The outcome of this match has major implications for the final Group A fixtures. On Sunday, August 17, DRC will face Morocco in a crucial game that will likely determine which team finishes second in the group and advances to the quarter-finals. The winner of that match will secure a spot in the next round, while the loser will be eliminated from the competition.
The loss for Angola also benefited Kenya, who have now qualified for the quarter-finals after finishing with seven points at the top of Group A.
