    Wissa fires DR Congo into AFCON last four

    DR Congo came from behind to beat Guinea 3-1 and book a semi-final spot at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

    Mohamed Bayo put Guinea ahead with a 20th-minute penalty after the forward was fouled by Chancel Mbemba, who then fired in from a narrow angle at the other end to equalize seven minutes later.

    DR Congo had a penalty of their own in the second half when Julian Jeanvier clipped the legs of Silas, and Brentford forward Yoane Wissa converted to give the Leopards the lead with 25 minutes left.

    The West Africans had little response after going behind, and the result was sealed when Arthur Masuaku’s free-kick from wide on the left caught out Guinea goalkeeper Ibrahim Kone at his near post.

    DR Congo had drawn all four of their previous games in Ivory Coast, beating Egypt on penalties in the last 16, and now prepares for its first semi-final outing since the Central Africans finished third in 2015.

    Sebastien Desabre’s side will face the winners of Saturday’s quarterfinal between Mali and hosts Ivory Coast (17:00 GMT) in the last four on Wednesday.

    DR Congo, who won the last of two AFCON titles in 1974 when they were still known as Zaire, now takes on either hosts Ivory Coast or Mali in the semi-final in Abidjan on Wednesday.

    Nigeria beat Angola 1-0 in the first quarterfinal earlier on Friday and will take on either the Cape Verde Islands or South Africa in their semi-final.
