On a good day for the Congolese they practically got the better of the Ivorians right infront of their home fans in Abidjan.

According to report on Vanguard, DR Congo Coach Florent Ibenge said with reference to the famous 4-3 qualifying triumph- “We hurt their pride when we beat them at home, the big Ivory Coast. They had not lost at home during the generation of Didier Drogba and Yaya Toure. They will now want to avenge that loss. 

''But we are also armed with the motivation to reach the final. That is our target.''

Meanwhile, top striker for the Ivorians, Max- Alain Gradel has hinted that the Elephants are looking good to take the next step into the final of the most prestigious competition on the continent.

''It is going to be a good game. DR Congo defeated us in Abidjan during the qualifiers, but this time it will be different. We are going to prepare well to get through,” he predicted.

''It’s together that we are going to go all the way. We are going to work to finish the job.''The clash could not have come at a better time for both teams as they appear to have hit peak form after indifferent starts to this tournament.
