The DR Congo national football team started its preparation phase for the World Cup by facing Denmark in a friendly match, which took place on the pitch of Liège in Belgium. The match ended in a 0-0 draw, but with lessons for the French coach of the Leopards, Sébastien Desabre. The RDC's compact block long hindered the Danish rival, who is not qualified for the World Cup, and who woke up frankly at the end of the first half. Left-back Joakim Maehle hit the opponent's post at the 25th minute, and then midfielder Christian Eriksen also hit the post at the 35th minute. After the break, the shot of Marseille midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg again hit the post at the 51st minute. The match lost dynamism, despite the RDC's defensive discipline. The input of substitutes Simon Banza and Noah Sadiki gave a boost to the game. But a last-minute save by Danish goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen in front of Joris Kayembe definitively ended the hopes of a goal for the future opponents of Portugal, Uzbekistan, and Colombia this summer. The DR Congo national football team hopes to face Chile in a second friendly match, but it has been canceled by the mayor of the host town in Spain, due to fear of the spread of the Ebola virus. The RDC will have to be content with just this one friendly match to prepare for the World Cup. The match was played on June 11, and the World Cup will take place from June 11 to July 19. The DR Congo national football team is ready to face the best teams in the world and to make its country proud. The RDC's supporters are eager to see their team in action and to support them throughout the competition. The team is led by coach Sébastien Desabre, who has a lot of experience in international football. The RDC's players are determined to do their best and to make their country proud.
