Under the first day of the African Nations Championship Group B, DR Congo has successfully imposed its entry into this afternoon on the score of 2-0 facing Libya. Despite a first-time rather morose, men from Santos Mutubilé pulled up together in the second period and write down two goals in the victory thanks to Alain and Serge Kaluyitukadiokoko Lofo’s Penalty.
Léopardsfoot a first half not very convincing
From the start of the match the Congolese took matters in hand but without much success like Tresor Mputu who from the first ten minutes of the game, misses to score after leaving on the floor a Libyan defender. The Congolese rushed forward, flock over to the enemy with great haste creating spaces in the Congolese defence that will surprise several times. Fortunately Abdusalam Nader’s goal will be denied because of a offside position. Both teams will draw on the score of 0-0 leaving somewhat dubious many observers with a penchant for the DR Congo.
A second half up to the expectations!
After several admonitions in the locker room, the Congolese return on the field a little more aggressively. Soon leopards regain control of the game. Ngoyi Mbomboko showing few signs of fatigue is replaced at the 54th minutes by the DCMP’s Kimuaki.
While the defense is less worried that the attackers are multiplying attacks without effectiveness, The Congolese game suffered from a lack of animation but above all of a player of the caliber of Zola Matumona able to manage and guide the game into a true maestro. This lack of animation requires mid fielder Tresor Mputu very often to come down to get the ball up to the mid field. At the 56 minutes it is through him an opening of a score will take place thanks to a rebound on the left flank followed by a perfect pass to Alain “in the square” , who will slide the ball at the bottom of the nets. DR Congo will lead with 1-0 and then take confidence in the process. A little beyond, in passing, highlighting the mistakes Congolese who always used to relax after a goal thinking that the case is in the bag. In this respect, verging on the equalization goal just after the Congolese through Nkulukuta who fortunately sailed successfully in a series of dribbles while he is virtually the only defender left in the axis of the goals of Kidiaba or Kimuaki who has against Manga Sport in Champions League two weeks back, has failed to get the ball neglected by Libyans wanting to play complicated. After this little fright and anger, especially after Santos Mutubilé, Tresor Mputu, yet he decides to take matters into their own hands. This is the beginning of the festival Mputu boosted by an audience fully committed to his cause. At the 67 ‘after giving the floor a Libyan 2 minutes earlier on a hook fuming, Shaban Hesman justice is itself in the cutting surface in the Congolese again spun toward the goals. Without hesitation, the Ivory-coast referee means the penalty that will be transformed by the master of Serge Lofo days. Congolese place confidence in the game until the final meeting where the Libyans have not been so disturbing that thought. Rendezvous-vous le 26 face in Zimbabwe where he will confirm to take first place in Group B this synonymous with qualification to the quarter-finals of the CHAN 2009 which begins for the men of “Barak” Santos “Obama.”
