With Ethiopia eliminated by the Red Devils, the battle for the two qualifying spots in Group C’s quarter-finals intensifies between Libya (4 points + 2), Ghana (4 points + 1), and Congo (3 points) in the CHAN 2014 tournament. While Ghana is expected to have a relatively smooth path to advance, Libya faces a tough challenge against Congo to secure their spot in the next round.
Although a draw would be sufficient for Libya, they must remain cautious against a determined Congolese side fighting for survival in the tournament. The Red Devils approach the crucial match against the Knights of the Mediterranean with a strong determination to ensure qualification.
Congo-Brazzaville’s coach, Sébastien Migné, expresses optimism about their chances, stating, “We came to qualify against Libya on Tuesday evening.” Despite acknowledging the need for a significant effort, Migné believes in the team’s potential. The Red Devils will rely on Rudy Guelord Bebhey Ndey, who, despite suffering from ankle pain, remains committed and determined to play against Libya, having scored the winning goal against Ethiopia in their previous match.
