Salute to Lionel Mpasi Nzazu. Stood on his head for as long as he could making five saves, four of which were in the box and all diving. His performance had all of DR Congo dreaming 🙏🇨🇩
Fair play ❤️
Fier de ce groupe tout entier , Fier d’avoir porté les couleurs de la RDC sur la plus grande scène mondiale avec cœur et courage 🇨🇩❤️ . Aujourd’hui la déception est grande , mais l’image qu’on laisse du football congolais et africain reste plus importante .
We’ll be back 🙌🏾🇨🇩

Just a reminder that USMNT striker Folarin Balogun received a red card after a VAR check on this challenge.
Earlier in the tournament, Lionel Messi didn’t get a yellow card or even a VAR check for a similar challenge.
