Africa Cup of Nations: Congo Kicks Off Campaign with Narrow Win Against Benin
23 December 2025at14:30
The Congolese national team began their Africa Cup of Nations journey with a 1-0 victory over Benin in their opening Group Stage match on Tuesday.
Congo took the lead thanks to a goal scored by Théo Bongonda in the 16th minute, capitalizing on a "strange" error from the Benin defense, which failed to deal with the ball effectively.
This result gives the Congolese team three points as they await the outcome of the match between Senegal and Botswana, scheduled to take place later today, starting at 4 PM Moroccan time.
