DR Congo secured a dramatic 1-0 victory over Cameroon with a stoppage-time goal by veteran defender Chancel Mbemba. This win sets up a final CAF World Cup qualifying playoff showdown against Nigeria, who advanced after a 4-1 extra-time win over Gabon. The final match is scheduled for Sunday at the Moulay Hassan Stadium in Rabat, and the winner will advance to the intercontinental playoffs for a chance to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The clash between Nigeria's direct and speedy style and DR Congo's disciplined, organized approach promises to be an intense battle for Africa's last shot at the World Cup.
