Two goals and four points were enough for Guinea to progress from the Africa Cup Of Nations 2023 group stage and into the round-of-16; they did so as the best third-placed sides in the tournament, outrightly. (More Football News)
DR Congo, as it happened, needed even less. Three draws in three games meant that the Leopards finished the group round with three points, albeit in second place, after neither Zambia nor Tanzania could collect more than two!
Once through to the knockouts, DR Congo maintained their trend; they drew with Egypt in regular time in the round-of-16, but knocked them out in the ensuing penalty shootout to claim the biggest scalp in this year's AFCON. Curiously, despite reaching the quarter-finals, DR Congo are yet to win a match in normal time.

Meanwhile, after they had laboured through a tough group to reach the last 16, Guinea beat their namesake, Equatorial Guinea, narrowly, advancing to the quarters at the expense of an outfit that had looked threatening throughout the group stage. Their reward: a bout against DR Congo.
