Mbemba's late heroics sink Cameroon and keep alive DR Congo's dreams

In a dramatic conclusion to their 2026 World Cup African qualifying play-off, DR Congo secured a stunning 1-0 victory over Cameroon with a last-gasp winner. The hard-fought match, played in persistent rain, appeared destined for extra time as both sides struggled to break the deadlock.

The first half ended scoreless, with few clear-cut opportunities. Cameroon's Bryan Mbeumo missed a notable chance in the second half, while Congolese striker Cédric Bakambu was denied by a crucial save from André Onana. The game remained a tense affair, with both defenses holding firm against mounting pressure.

Just as the whistle loomed, the Leopards won a corner in the 91st minute. The delivery found captain Chancel Mbemba, who made no mistake, smashing the ball into the net to score the decisive goal. The dramatic late strike silenced the home crowd and sent DR Congo into the playoff final against Nigeria.
