Soccer-DR Congo top Group C with 3-1 win over Togo

PORT GENTIL, Gabon, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Junior Kabananga kept up his goal-scoring form at the African Nations Cup to help send the Democratic Republic of Congo into the quarter-finals as they beat Togo 3-1 on Tuesday and finished top of Group C. The tall striker, whose participation was confirmed only at the last minute, is now the leading scorer at the tournament after he netted the opening goal in the 29th minute. There were second-half contributions from Ndombe Mubele and Paul-Jose Mpoku while Kodjo Laba pulled one back for Togo, who finished last in the group standings with a single point. DR Congo amassed seven points and will play the team who finish second on Wednesday in Group D in the weekend quarter-finals. (Reporting by Mark Gleeson; Editing by Clare Fallon)
