Despite Achraf Hakimi giving Morocco an early lead, and Cedric Bakambu missing a penalty for DR Congo, Silas’s goal secured a draw.

With four points, Morocco leads Group F after defeating Tanzania and drawing with DR Congo. They play Zambia next and can secure a spot in the knockout stage with a victory.

Morocco had initially dominated the match when Hakimi scored, but DR Congo made a comeback in the second half. The draw leaves Morocco in a good position to advance in the tournament, aiming for their second AFCON title and their first since 1976.
