At Johannesburg’s FNB Stadium, DR Congo and Uganda are level at 0-0 at half-time in this second friendly match, after the Cranes’ 2-0 victory in the first leg.

An intense goalless match

It is half-time at Johannesburg’s FNB Stadium. There have been no goals between DR Congo and Uganda at the end of a very intense and closely contested first half. For this September–October international window, Sébastien Desabre fielded a second-string team, although it still included several key players such as Chancel Mbemba, Noah Sadiki and Nathanaël Mbuku. After two victories, 2-0 against Equatorial Guinea and 2-1 against Zimbabwe in the first two rounds of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, DR Congo have been held by Uganda.

Paul Put’s Cranes, meanwhile, are managing the match well after their 2-0 victory in the first leg. The record favours Uganda. The recent head-to-head record also favours Uganda, who have won 3 of the last 5 meetings, with one draw and just one Congolese victory. The Leopards will have to raise their game in the second half to avenge that defeat.
