The DRC Leopards thrashed the Eperviers of Togo on the 4th day of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers on June 9 Sunday. The Congolese won (1-0) against Togo.
From the start of this game, the Congolese gave the best of themselves with remarkable offensives. After 6 minutes of play, it was Élia Meschak, found by Yoane Wissa, who opened the scoring goal.
Meanwhile, Senegal moved to the top of their group in African qualifying for the 2026 World Cup after Habib Diallo’s header gave the Teranga Lions a 1-0 win in Mauritania.
DR Congo are a point behind Senegal in the Group B table after the Leopards registered a 1-0 home win against Togo, with Brentford forward Yoane Wissa superbly setting up Meschack Elia’s early goal.
Meanwhile, Tunisia’s perfect start came to an end with a goalless draw away against Namibia, but the Carthage Eagles remain top of Group H on 10 points.
All nine group winners at the end of the 10-match campaign are guaranteed a place at the 2026 finals, while another African side could book a spot in the United States, Mexico and Canada via an intercontinental tournament.
The fourth round of qualifiers continues on Monday and Tuesday, after which the African preliminaries will pause until March 2025.
Qualifiers for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations are scheduled to be played in September, October and November, although the dates for both the group draw and the finals themselves in Morocco are yet to be announced by the Confederation of African Football.
