But it was DR Congo that struck first, with Neeskens Kebano drilling a powerful effort into the bottom corner from 20 yards, sending the colorful Congolese contingent into raptures.

But just minutes later, DR Congo had regained the lead. Junior Kabananga, a matchwinner against Morocco on Matchday one, wasn't content with a fine assist for Kebano and promptly scored his second of the tournament.
