|

Masuaku’s grabbed hi first international goal for DR Congo to  earn the nation a late draw away to Kenya.

It was the last  warm-up match for Masuaku and his teammates ahead of this summer’s Africa Cup of Nations, but DR Congo.

With three minutes left on the clock, Masuaku curled home a brilliant free-kick from just outside the area to earn his team the share of the spoils.

He and his team-mates now head to Egypt for this summer’s AFCON competition, where they will look to lift the trophy for the first time since 1974.

Their first match in the tournament is on Saturday 22 July, when DR Congo take on Uganda.

    I love masuaku. don’t get me wrong. However, in all honesty, there was no beauty in his goal, it was a blunder from the Kenyan goalie that let in the goal.
    Either way I’m happy our own got a goal, as well as my country, Kenya, proving to be no push over.
