Our darling super divas made the drc looks so good
If mounier was on the pitch today he would have squeezed in a goal for the beninois atleast…
I agree with you @ Taiwo. The Dr Congo team is very ordinary and I still can’t understand how SE capitulated from the 2nd half after Osimhen’s exit to make them look too good on the pitch at the playoff that day.
Well let’s see how SE go on this Afcon. They look more serious and mobile upto the end of the 1st half against Tanzania today.
