Egypt vs DR Congo LIVE! AFCON result, match stream, latest updates as Leopards win penalty shootout
Egypt suffered more Africa Cup of Nations shoot-out heartache as goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi scored the winning penalty to send DR Congo through to the quarter-finals. All four of the Pharaohs' knockout games in the 2021 tournament required additional time, culminating in a spot-kick defeat to Senegal in the final. And, after a 1-1 draw following extra-time, they went the same way in San Pedro with an 8-7 loss on penalties.
Mostafa Mohamed continued to step up in the absence of the injured Mohamed Salah with his fourth goal in as many matches from the spot, cancelling out Meschack Elia's opener, with Egypt hanging on in extra time following Mohamed Hamdy's 97th-minute red card.
Mohamed missed from 12 yards the second time around and keeper Mohamed Abou Gabal also fluffed his lines, leaving opposite number Mpasi to hold his nerve and set up a last-eight clash with Guinea. Read back Egypt vs DR Congo below via Standard Sport's match blog!
