Barrages Coupe du monde 2026 : la RD Congo maîtrise le Nigeria et se qualifie pour les barrages intercontinentaux
DR Congo will represent the African continent in the intercontinental playoffs in Mexico. In the final played this Sunday in Morocco, Chancel Mbemba's teammates defeated Nigeria 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw following regulation and extra time.
Nigeria, the favorites in this final, quickly made their intentions clear by opening the scoring in the 3rd minute through Frank Onyeka. Undeterred by this early goal, DR Congo responded with a goal from Messack Elia (32nd minute).
After 90 minutes and extra time, the score remained unchanged. A penalty shootout was therefore necessary to separate the two teams. In this exercise, the Congolese proved more efficient, converting four penalties to their opponents' three.
With this qualification, DR Congo will be present at the final play-off, scheduled for March 2026 in Mexico.
