Tunisia, DR Congo play out draw to reach AFCON quarter-finals

Tunisia and DR Congo have both secured places in the quarter-final of the on-going Africa Cup of Nations with 1-1 draw game in their final group B match. 

Group B leaders Tunisia took the lead in the 31st minute through striker Ahmed Akaichi who headed home a cross from Captain Yassine Chikhaoui. 

But substitute Jeremy Bokla made no mistake in finishing off an attack by DR Congo in the 66th minute to earn his side a place in the last eight on goals scored.

Meanwhile, Cape Verde and Zambia have crashed out of the tournament following a goalless draw in the other Group B match.

Cape Verde went into the game at second place, but are out after drawing in all three matches with DR Congo leapfrogging on goals scored.
