In-form DR Congo turned on the style as they thrashed Togo 3-1 to top group C with two wins and a draw in the African Nations Cup in Gabon.
Goals from Kabananga 29, Mubele 54, and Mpoku 80 helped DRC to eliminate Togo.
Tournament top scorer Junior Kabananga converted Chancel Mbemba’s pass for the opener, his third goal in three games.
DR Congo is expected to face the Group D runners-up in the quarter-finals, which will be one of Mali, Ghana or – most likely – Egypt.
In the same group, Morocco defeat holders Ivory Coast 1-0 to reach the knockout stage of the competition.
Rachid Alioui scored a brilliant goal at the Stade d’Oyem, to send Ivory Coast out of the Africa Cup of Nation in a 1-0 win for Morocco.
