Wissa fires DR Congo to second consecutive AFCON qualifier victory

The Democratic Republic of the Congo maintained their perfect start in Group E of the African Cup of Nations qualifiers with a second consecutive win, powered by another goal from striker Yoanne Wissa. The victory keeps the Congolese side firmly positioned in their qualifying campaign as they push toward securing a berth at the continental tournament.

Wissa has emerged as a key attacking force for DR Congo, adding to his tally with another crucial goal in the qualifying round. His performances have provided coach Sébastien Desabre with a reliable source of goals as the team builds momentum in their group.

Elsewhere in Group E, Tunisia were unable to extend their own winning run, held to a stalemate by Botswana in what proved a more challenging encounter than anticipated. The draw leaves Tunisia in a competitive position within the group, though it represents a step back from their earlier form in the qualifying campaign.

The results leave Group E tightly contested heading into subsequent matchdays, with DR Congo's back-to-back victories establishing them as a serious contender for qualification to the Africa Cup of Nations.
