    This will mean everything. In 2015 [when they last reached the semis] we still talk about that to this day.

    They will feel like they can go one step further this time and they will keep pushing.

    Unbelievable. You can see what it means and you can see people are in tears.

    You have superstars like Naby Keita distraught on the floor as they are going home.

    DR Congo are dreaming of the final. This is what the Africa Cup of Nations is all about.

    Wild celebrations from DR Congo.

    Guinea look devastated but they just weren't good enough.

    Masuaku scored a goal like that for West Ham against Chelsea (though not from a free kick). He’s that sort of blend where he might have actually meant it.

    I think Guinea will see this as a bit of a missed opportunity.

    They should have tried harder to force the issue a little bit more.

    OK one more chance as Serhou Guirassy heads wide from a corner. Where was this 10 minutes ago?

    Guinea do have one final chance but Julian Jeanvier smashes a shot over after a rejected penalty appeal.

    Guinea make a double change but no way this makes a difference.

    DR Congo hack a ball away. They're almost there. Not that Guinea are causing them problems.

    Masuaka's goal replica of his winner for West Ham v Chelsea in 2021. He meant them both!

    I think they will be surprised by how easy it has been.

    The penalty was soft and they just haven't been tested. In the battle of the coaches, Sebastien Desabre has come out on top.

    DR Congo last reached the Afcon semi-finals in 2015, where they lost to... the Ivory Coast - who could be their opponents again this time.

    Unbelievable. The scenes are unbelievable.

    I would like to say he meant it and if there is anyone who has that quality it is Masuaku.

    If he meant that, it is unbelievable improvisation. It just has that Ronaldo feel to it with the dip and under the crossbar.
