DR Congo head coach Sébastien Desabre commented on his team's 2-1 loss to England in the Round of 16 at the World Cup.
"We're disappointed because we truly believed we could achieve it. We played well. Towards the end of the match, we missed two clear scoring opportunities, and one of the best players in the world scored two goals against us," Desabre stated.
"We must congratulate the players for their performance. They gained valuable experience playing against teams of this caliber. That's football in Congo: perhaps we lacked a bit of experience, but that's the nature of the game. We are learning and continue to improve. We will calmly move forward," the specialist added.
In the group stage, DR Congo drew 1-1 with Portugal, lost 1-0 to Colombia, and secured a 3-1 victory over Uzbekistan.
