Introduction
Match day 3 will be underway on Thursday night as Tanzania face DR Congo at Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium. Both fixtures in group F ended in stalemates over the weekend as Tanzania drew 1-1 with Zambia and DR Congo also recorded the same result.

About the game
Tanzania are yet to secure a victory in this tournament, after losing 3-0 to Morocco in the first match and drawing Zambia 1-1 on Sunday. Prior to the Zambia match, Tanzania opted for a coaching change. They replaced Adel Amrouche, who received an eight-match ban for pre-tournament remarks implicating Morocco’s influence on CAF.
In Coach Hemed Suleiman’s debut, Tanzania couldn’t clinch their first win as 10-man Zambia rallied for a 1-1 draw. Simon Msuva put Taifa Stars into an early lead in the 11th minute, as Zambia captain Roderick Kabwe received his second yellow card before halftime. However, Zambia mounted a comeback, with Patson Daka leveling the score in the 88th minute.
Conversely, Congo are yet to record a victory in the ongoing AFCON but stay 2nd with 2 points behind Morocco. They clinched their second draw of the tournament when they played 1-1 with Morocco. Silas Katompa Mvumpa played a pivotal role in securing a 1-1 draw for the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the match. Achraf Hakimi initially gave Morocco the lead in the seventh minute, but DR Congo showcased resilience, staging a commendable recovery to earn a well-deserved point in Group F.
