Fortunately, the irreparable was avoided, the plane returned to Kinshasa and landed at N’djili airport at 03:35.

The experience was total trauma for the players and all the members of the delegation.

The game was originally scheduled for Saturday at 6 p.m in Setif

The DR. Congo FA according to several sources requested a 24-hour shift which was gladly accepted by CAF.

The showdown kicks off 19:00 GMT. Dr. Congo won the first leg by 4-1.

The winner of the tie meet the Black Meteors of Ghana in the final round of the qualifiers to contest for one of the seven places at stake for the tournament finals to take place in Morocco in 2023.
