CHAN 2016 - DR Congo cruise past Ethiopia




DR Congo got off to a flying start at Chan 2016 with a 3-0 comfortable win over Ethiopia on Sunday afternoon at a fully packed Huye Stadium.
Guy Lusadisu opened the scoring at the stroke of half time to give the Leopards a deserved lead having dominated possession for the most part of the opening 45 minutes.
One minute into the second half, Heritier Luvumbu doubled the lead for Florent Ibenge’s side to punish the Walias who were completely outplayed in the one-sided game.
Ethiopian coach Yohannes Sahle introduced Samson Tihalun to provide a spark for his side but the Congolese were too strong for the Walias who then sat back to defend.
Elia Meshack’s goal in the 55th minute sealed the Leopards win to send them top of Group B ahead of Angola and Cameroon temporarily.
