DR Congo is through to the semi-final stage of the ongoing FIBA AfroCan tournament in Angola.
The defending champions narrowly beat the hard-fighting Nigerian lads 74-72 on Thursday at the Pavihao Multiusos de Luanda to move one step closer to successfully defending the crown they won in 2019.
For the umpteenth time, the coach Ogoh Daodu-led team was undone by their sloppy start, and though their late rally was commendable, it fell a little short of getting them the badly needed victory in the quarterfinal contest.
