Third Place Match: DR Congo Beats Equatorial Guinea To Win AFCON Bronze

DR Congo have finished third after beating Equatorial Guinea 4-2 on
post-match penalties in the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations third and
fourth playoff match in Malabo on Saturday night.

It was a massive consolation for DR Congo who enjoyed their best Afcon
run since finishing third again in 1998.

Robert Kidiaba saved one post-match penalty while Equatorial Guinea
missed their first spot kick to set the tone for DR Congo. Javier
Balboa stepped up to take Equatorial Guinea's first spot kick but
fired it wide.

DR Congo had Cedrick Mabwati, Lema Mabidi, Chancel Mbemba and Gabriel
Zakuani to thank who all converted their spot kicks.

Second half substitute Raul Bosio saw his spot kick saved by Kidiaba,
while Juvenal Owono and Ellong Doualla successfully converted but the
damage was already done.
