Dieumerci Mbokani scored twice as Democratic Republic of Congo produced a
remarkable fightback to beat neighbours Congo 4-2 and reach the Africa
Cup of Nations semi-finals.
DR Congo looked set to bow out when
Ferebory Dore and Thievy Bifouma put Congo in command of Saturday's
quarter-final at Estadio de Bata, but Florent Ibenge's men responded
from two down with a stunning comeback.
Mbokani pulled a goal
back and Jeremy Bokila made up for wasting several chances by
equalising, before Joel Kimwaki came off the bench to head DR Congo in
front for the first time eight minutes from the end.
The lively
Mbokani then added a fourth goal to seal the victory, as DR Congo won
for the first time in the tournament to move into the last four.
