Nigeria Aim to Correct Errors as Chelle Confident Ahead of DR Congo Playoff Final

Posted : 15 November 2025

Nigeria head coach Eric Chelle believes his squad is fully prepared to avoid repeating past mistakes when they face DR Congo in the 2026 World Cup CAF playoff final on Sunday, November 16, at the Moulay Hassan Stadium in Rabat. The decisive fixture is scheduled to kick off at 9pm CAT.

The Super Eagles arrive at the final following a dramatic semifinal performance against Gabon on November 13. A late defensive lapse allowed Mario Lemina to level the score in the 89th minute, forcing extra time.

However, Akor Adams’ opener, followed by Chidera Ejuke’s early extra-time strike and a brace from Victor Osimhen, secured Nigeria’s progression. The team has now registered three straight wins and remains unbeaten in six matches, a strong turnaround after consecutive losses to Sudan and Senegal during their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

DR Congo, meanwhile, defied expectations in their semifinal showdown with Cameroon. Despite being underdogs, the Leopards matched the Indomitable Lions throughout and clinched a dramatic 1–0 victory thanks to Chancel Mbemba’s stoppage-time goal.

The result marked their fourth win in five matches and provided a major confidence boost for Sébastien Desabre’s players as they target their first World Cup appearance since 1974.
