DR Congo vs Zambia at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations — DR Congo and Zambia are both former Africa Cup of Nations champions

Zambia and DR Congo drew 1-1 as the opening round of group games at the Africa Cup of Nations came to a close.

Against the run of play, Kings Kangwa made the most of a defensive mix-up to put Zambia ahead in the 23rd minute.

Just four minutes later, the Leopards were level in the Group F match thanks to a close-range equaliser from Brentford forward Yoane Wissa.

DR Congo were awarded a second-half penalty for handball, but the decision was overturned after a video review.

Earlier in Group F, Morocco proved their credentials as pre-tournament favourites, opening with a comfortable 3-0 win over Tanzania.
