Clinical Chico Ushindi scored just after half-time to give the Democratic Republic of Congo a 1-0 win over Congo Brazzaville Sunday and the lead in Group B of the African Nations Championship (CHAN).
Chasing a record-extending third title in the tournament for home-based footballers, the Leopards top the table with three points, Libya and Niger have one each and Congo none.
When a Congo Brazzaville defender failed to cut off a low cross on 47 minutes, Ushindi struck a left-foot shot across goalkeeper Pavelh Ndzila into the far corner of the net.
DR Congo should have won the clash of central African neighbours more convincingly having dominated possession and territory at Stade Japoma in the Cameroonian economic capital, Douala.

Libya’s Mediterranean Knights will be receiving a new coach, Zerwan Filipovic for a year into 2022.
“I will change everything to make the Libyan national team a success,” Promised the Montenegrin coach.
Filipovic will be the third foreign coach in Libya’s history, taking over from over from Ali El Margini, who resigned after just three games in charge.
The European coach emphasised the importance of living in Libya itself, adding that it will be the difference between him and former foreign coaches who attempted to do the job from overseas.
