Brentford forward Yoane Wissa played a crucial role in helping DR Congo secure a 1-1 draw against Zambia in Group F of the Africa Cup of Nations. Despite falling behind to Kings Kangwa's goal, Wissa quickly leveled the score for DR Congo.

Zambia took the lead in the 23rd minute after a defensive lapse from DR Congo, with Kangwa capitalizing on a quick throw-in and an error from the goalkeeper.

However, DR Congo responded swiftly, with Cedric Bakambu breaking the offside trap and providing an assist for Yoane Wissa, who equalized from close range.

Although DR Congo had opportunities to take the lead, including a VAR-overturned penalty decision, they couldn't find a winner. Silas missed a chance deep into added time, and the match ended in a 1-1 draw.

With both teams trailing Morocco in the Group F standings after the first round of games, the result sets the stage for an intriguing competition in the Africa Cup of Nations group stage.
