The manager was pleased with the victory but is already looking forward to the next game, saying: "The victory against Botswana was a statement, but our tournament really begins with the clash against the Leopards."

Congo Hard to Beat
DR Congo had a solid World Cup qualifying campaign, finishing second in group B to reach the second round. Chancel Mbemba scored in added time to secure a 1-0 semi-final victory against Cameroon.
The Leopards outplayed Nigeria in the final but had to settle for a 1-1 draw. The crucial clash went to penalties where they prevailed in the shootout to qualify for the inter-confederation play-offs.
Sebastien Desabre’s side didn’t have it all their own way in their opening game at AFCON. Theo Bongond scored early which was enough to secure a 1-0 win against Benin, ending with 48% possession and 11-12 shots.
Desabre admitted the quality his side will face in their next match, saying: "Senegal are arguably the best team in Africa right now.
"Our win against Benin gives us confidence, but facing the Lions requires a different level of tactical discipline. We want to prove that our recent growth is not a fluke."
