Brentford forward Yoane Wissa praised the unity of the DR Congo team after their Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) quarter-final qualification by defeating Egypt on penalties. Despite struggles to score, Wissa emphasized their collective effort and resilience, particularly in their first win of the tournament after three draws in the group stage.

Coach Sebastien Desabre commended the team’s hard work and commitment to the national jersey. This victory prolongs Mohamed Salah’s quest for a major international title with Egypt and raises doubts about coach Rui Vitoria’s future after a disappointing Afcon campaign. Vitoria attributed the loss to bad luck and expressed sadness over their early exit, taking partial responsibility and committing to continuing with the team.
