Nsengi-Biembe tells DR Congo they're the best after losing to Ivory Coast

DR Congo head coach Christian Nsengi-Biembe is choosing to focus on the positives after his side’s 3-1 defeat at the hands of Ivory Coast at Stade de la Licorne on Sunday.

The Elephants were inspired by Wilfried Zaha and Nicolas Pepe, with Wilfried Kanon getting the first goal for the West Africans, to condemn the Leopards to a disappointing loss.

Nsengi-Biembe, who replaced Florent Ibenge in August after the Africa Cup of Nations, praised his players and staff given the progress they’ve shown in friendlies against Algeria and Ivory Coast.
