Tunisia and Congo DR progress

  • Intro:

    Tunisia coach George Leekens and Congo DR coach Jean Florent Ikwange react to their 1-1 draw in Group B of the African Cup of Nations in Bata.

    Script:

    Tunisia and The Democratic Republic of Congo are both through to the quarter-finals of the African Cup of Nations after they drew their final group B match on Monday. Tunisia's coach said:

    SOUNDBITE (French) George Leekens, Tunisia coach:

    "It was a hard match. We played well in the first half, but not so well in the second half. We are happy with the result because it placed us first in this group. Both our teams will go through, so we are very happy. All of Tunisia is happy and I would like to thank my colleague (DRC coach Jean Florent Ikwange)."

    The Congo DR coach said;

    SOUNDBITE (French) Jean Florent Ikwange, Congo DR coach:

    "We are through to the quarter-finals. It was hard work, just as we had a hard time qualifying for the tournament. We were the 16th team to get in. In this tournament, everyone thought we would be the first to go out. Now we are one of the eight qualifying, we will go further and we will continue to pose problems for other teams. Next we have to face Congo Brazzaville. They are dangerous opponents with a very experienced coach, so it'll be tough. I hope that we will see the same sort of thing, we'll hopefully react if we concede a goal."

    So a central African derby next up for them and Tunisia face the hosts for a place in the last four.
