Brentford forward Yoane Wissa hailed the “togetherness” of his DR Congo team after they reached the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) quarter-finals in Ivory Coast by beating Egypt on penalties. “No team will let us win, so togetherness has been the difference,” Wissa told BBC Sport Africa. This Afcon is the first for France-born Wissa, 27, who began representing DR Congo, the nation of his parents’ birth, in 2020. Wissa hopes their latest achievement can bring joy to people in DR Congo. DR Congo’s victory over The Pharaohs on Sunday prolonged Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah’s wait to win a first major international title with Egypt.
