01:06 deacon tag to the middle looking for bio and now scored perfectly done by bio and guinea into the lead
01:17 he's a plan full of confidence you can see those runs that he's been putting in when the game started and i know he talked that one pretty well he saw the goalkeeper move and then he chose the other side that's a player in full confidence
01:29 [Music]
01:32 celebrations for guinea celebrations for the vast majority of the crowd here who are supporting them
01:38 and chancellor mbembe will reflect on perhaps a decision which might prove costly we will have to wait and see
01:50 were there other options for mbembe to deal with that run from bio you know the only thing he can do you know probably not to nudge him but when you have a notch from the back
02:01 then that's what you get and he for me i think since the penalty was given he was lucky enough not to get not to be booked
02:11 perfectly struck spot kick from bio celebrations for guinea who lead after 20 minutes here in the second quarterfinal at the african cup of nations
02:28 and still a lot of football to be played
02:32 pico good touch now elia is inside so is bakambu this clearance from diakube
02:40 siaga was there a handball there mbomgondo they're playing on here vissel get the shot in
02:48 all a little panicky at the back it's going to go for a corner minimum congolese corner chance to get themselves back in the game
02:56 masoaka will take it to the back post call back inside oh that's lovely that's brilliantly done by mbembe
03:05 he's made up for the early era he did made up you know what a finish that's a striker's finish any striker will be very proud of such a finish from a centre back
03:15 chancellor mbembe the skipper restores parity here at abidjan superb finish at the back post his sixth goal for his country
03:27 six goal look look at the flip the ball went past all the guineans defenders and he was right there and
03:35 no what a finish like i said all strikers will be proud to see such a finish from a centre back
03:41 and he have made up you know from that era that he did for you know giving their opponents a penalty
03:47 left footer from mbembe as well and it's a woodwork on the way just shaves on through
03:53 superbly struck 80th cap today for mbembe and what a way to mark it he's given away the penalty but he's taken
04:06 a fairly short amount of time but kambo excuse me mishak elia rather former mbembe player now in switzerland
04:14 bongonda does like to dribble but with that kind of traction why not the cross though
04:24 now he has a chance vissa with a good idea but no teammate there and guinea might transition into attack
04:34 sila
04:36 clearance from mbembe sudan then
04:41 inviting ball it was a little touch i think from one of the defenders
04:47 now you're running away from it nabi kater pushes forward chases onya for bio
04:54 gets the shot in good luck good luck
05:01 [Music]
05:05 this ball needlessly given away to johann vissa with an opportunity here
05:23 good turn from a combo equally good challenge there from the big centre back diakive
05:28 now good chance again for vissa that's too strong for but come
05:36 vissa
05:40 miles away
05:45 nonga the defender mbembe
05:49 that's all taken away by masuaku nice pass to vissa
05:55 vissa tries to curl it
05:58 inside from vissa gets away from a combo masuaku lays it back the shot from pickle hits his own man
06:09 to the near post punch away from corner back in from bongonda there might be a chance
06:18 well he had a bit more time
06:23 ball inside to nabi kater back again from guilavoge inviting one who's there again mbembe
06:29 they should switch to their wing plays
06:32 that's a lovely ball chants in here oh the touch a disappointing one indeed
06:41 maybe a little loss of concentration at the vital moment and it allows the congolese to steam forward here
06:50 this is a good strong run is that a penalty referee says yes
06:54 vissa to take it
06:57 vissa steadies himself scores congo are ahead
07:09 2-1 you know they've trailed and they you know they fought back and you can see why i love african football
07:15 sarah gresham galore that's always colorful you know you score a goal you know and for a country you know i'm sure nobody gave them that opportunity the bookies never gave them any opportunity of making you know the round of 16 or even making you know the quarterfinal and now they are the veg you know of making the semifinal history in the making
07:36 oh they were down with the responsibility cool calm and collected keeper went the right way tucked away into the corner and the drc lead here by two to one
07:49 good penalty strokes you know he knew he knew what he wanted and then you know even if a goalkeeper you know goes the other goes the other way or go for it you know he struck it perfectly well
08:01 frustration with guinea
08:06 four five players now into the penalty area from congo looking to get onto the end of this vissa will deliver
08:15 bember's gone forward bunzer is in there as well
08:19 vissa will drag it back
08:23 up into the air up comes corner makes the punch
08:26 92 and 2015 and south africa winners in 96 that's a goal
08:33 superbly done directly taken from the free kick and surely it's all over now
08:43 he knew what he was doing he saw the goalkeeper left you know the line he left that space for him and then what a swing you know it's a beautiful goal he put in his country in a very comfortable situation right now
08:54 and that way they're playing the way they keep in position if they can continue the way it is definitely that will bring out the guineas out and they can still go for more goals
09:02 what a game for bember
09:10 and what a superb free kick from masuaku
09:13 goalkeeper out of position caught in the near post
09:18 by arthur masuaku floats in high and into the back of the net
