Watch Egypt Vs. DR Congo Live Stream: 2019 Africa Cup Of Nations Group A, Start Time, Preview, How To Watch

After a dispiriting and shocking defeat to 80th-ranked Uganda in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations opener, DR Congo Captain Youssouf Mulumbu felt compelled to apologize to the country’s fans, according to BeIn Sports. And now the Leopards, who came into the tournament with a realistic chance of going all the way, face potential elimination when they take on tournament favorite and host nation Egypt, who are looking for their first AFCON title since 2010 when they completed an unprecedented run of three African championships consecutively. And the Pharaohs are feeling so confident, that they are contemplating an “experiment” with their superstar Mo Salah in the match that will live stream from the Egyptian capital city.

Egypt Coach Javier Aguirre slotted Salah in the middle of Egypt’s front line, in what turned out to be a surprisingly difficult 1-0 win against Zimbabwe on Friday. But despite his team’s shaky play in that game, Aguirre is planning to use Salah as a striker once again, according to AS.com.

“Salah, with his great capacities, is capable of playing in any position and performing well,” said Egypt assistant coach Tito Garcia.

On the DR Congo side, Coach Florent Ibenge said that his team will now need to “do it the hard way” if they hope to advance in the 2019 AFCON, saying that his team will play an attacking game against Egypt.

“It’s going to be a very difficult game for us, but we will do our best,” the coach said on Tuesday. “We will not adopt a defensive method, because we want to qualify.”
