DR Congo reignited their CAF African Nations Championship (Chan) 2024 campaign with a commanding 2-0 victory over Zambia in their second Group A match on Thursday at the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi.

Goals from Ibrahim Matobo and substitute Horso Mwaku helped the Leopards bounce back from their opening day defeat to co-hosts Kenya and keep alive their hopes of reaching the knockout stages.
