However, they were undone by two second-half goals from the South Americans.<\/p>\n<p>Following a balanced first half, Chile broke the deadlock in the 52nd minute through Osorio before Sep\u00falveda doubled the advantage four minutes from time. DR Congo responded late on when defender Joris Kayembe pulled one back in the 89th minute, but S\u00e9bastien Desabre\u2019s men were unable to find an equaliser.<\/p>\n<p>Despite creating several promising opportunities throughout the match, the Congolese side struggled to convert their chances, with their lack of cutting edge in front of goal proving costly. Ironically, it was a defender who eventually found the net and gave the Leopards hope in the closing stages.<\/p>\n<p>The defeat highlights some of the areas that coach S\u00e9bastien Desabre may need to address before the start of the World Cup, particularly the team\u2019s efficiency in attack.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the Leopards now shift their full attention to the global showpiece, where they will be aiming to make their mark on football\u2019s biggest stage.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Angu Lesley\u00a0 Football Writer,kick442.com-Cameroon DR Congo suffered a 2-1 defeat to Chile in&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":28798,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28797","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-african-football","category-football"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 -
