AS Monaco pair Lamine Camara and Krépin Diatta featured as Senegal managed to edge out DR Congo in an entertaining 3-2 win on Tuesday afternoon. Former Marseille man Cedric Bakambu opened the scoring for DR Congo, before the hosts doubled their lead through former Lorient man Yoanne Wissa. Senegal then made their fightback through Gueye, Jackson, and Pape Matar Sarr in the 87th minute to see the The Lions of Teranga grab the three points.

Montpellier man Dimitry Bertaud started between the sticks for Congo, as Saint-Étienne's Dylan Batubinsika also featured in the back line for the hosts. FC Metz striker Cheikh Sabaly came off the bench to feature also for Senegal.
