Morocco vs DR Congo: What happened
The Atlas Lions, the AFCON 2023 favourites, came into the clash as the bookers’ favourite to take all three points and book a spot in the knockout stage.
Morocco started like they meant business when Achraf Hakimi volleyed them in front from a corner after just six minutes of play at the Stade Laurent Pokou.

Despite Congo occasionally coming close to an equaliser, including Cedric Bakambu missing a golden opportunity to draw Congo level from the spot, the Lions held on to their slim lead at the break.
After the break, the Leopards continued to push for an equaliser. They were finally rewarded for their persistence when Silas Katompa Mvumpa fired in a deserved leveller with 14 minutes to play.
The unexpected result blows Group F wide open, with any of the four teams still capable of progressing. Morocco remain favorites to top the group if they can beat Zambia in their final group game.
For DR Congo, the unlikely point keeps their own hopes alive as they sit second with two points.
