Democratic Republic of Congo completed one of African football’s greatest comebacks with a gritty turnaround against their northern neighbours Congo in Bata.
Dynamo Kyiv frontman Dani Mbokani notched a brace to bring his side back from the dead and into the semis.
Dore Ferebory put Congo in the lead on fifty four minutes after a cagey first half,ghosting in behind the DRC backline to tap in past Robert Kidiaba in goal.

Thievy Bifouma doubled their lead seven minutes later,ruthlessly punishing a suicidal pass by Kasusula,the TP Mazembe fullback hardly had a foot wrong until then.
The Zaireans were stung into action,Yannick Bolasie sprinting to the byline on sixty four minutes to cut back a neat pass which Mbokani duly obliged.
Jeremy Bokila,uncharacteristically blunt all night,drew them level on seventy four minutes,turning and rifling a left footer into the roof.Six minutes later Job Kimwaki glanced in a freekick as Florent Ibenge’s men took control.Mbokani got his double and DRC’s fourth,latching onto a threaded pass as Claude Le Roy’s men dropped their guard.
