By nostalgia, one must point out that 26 months ago, to the day, the Leopards of the DRC achieved an incredible exploit against Diables Rouges of Congo-Brazzaville. 4 goals in remontada mode after being led by 2 goals to 0- Even the youngest remember it perfectly. This beautiful story was written during the CAN 2015 organized by Equatorial Guinea after the withdrawal of Morocco.
No luck was then attributed to the DRC. Leopards were the last to qualify in this competition. The CAN starts, the men of Florent Ibenge are logically forgotten from the list of favorites to the final victory, drafted in the last moments as best third, no one could bet on a brilliant course of the Congolese in this tournament.
This reference match remembers everything. The Leopards have achieved an unprecedented feat. To score four goals in 25 minutes after being led by 2-0, it had to be done. The rest we know, a failure against Ivory Coast in the semifinals and a bronze medal torn to the host country.
Will it be the same? Let's wait and see. Lovers of the ball will have their eyes riveted Sunday, July 7 to Alexandria where the Leopards will play against Madagascar...
