CAN Maroc-2025 : La RD Congo s’impose dans la douleur face au Bénin
While awaiting the Senegal-Botswana match, the first Group D game pitted DR Congo against Benin. A lively and hard-fought encounter ended in a narrow 1-0 victory for the Congolese. But it was a difficult match for Chancel Mbemba and his teammates.
Despite Théo Bongonda opening the scoring in the 16th minute, DR Congo struggled for much of the match against a valiant Benin side. Even without five regular starters, all suspended for this first match of the Africa Cup of Nations, Benin put up a fierce resistance against Sébastien Desabre's men.
Tenacious, aggressive, and determined, the Cheetahs gave the Leopards a tough time, creating several promising opportunities but ultimately failing to capitalize. Their lack of attacking efficiency proved costly.
In the end, DR Congo prevailed by the narrowest of margins and began the Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 with three valuable points. This was an important victory before a second, highly competitive group match against Senegal, the clear favorites in Group D.
