Sébastien Desabre had chosen to reshuffle his team for this second match against Uganda. The Congolese coach even handed first caps to two new players.
Despite a good showing, DRC failed to turn the tide. The final score of 1-1 leaves a sense of unfinished business, especially after the 0-2 defeat in the first match on Saturday.
Uganda, co-host of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations with Kenya and Tanzania, showed solidity. The Léopards will still need to work ahead of the next fixtures.
