Congo booked their first Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final since 1992 with a 2-1 win over Burkina Faso to top Group A.
Thievy Bifouma helped book Congo s place in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals with the opening goal in their 2-1 win over Burkina Faso on Sunday.
For the first time since 1992, Congo have progressed to the last eight of the tournament after Claude Le Roy led them to the top of Group A with seven points.
A quiet opening 45 minutes saw Burkina Faso have the better of the chances, but they were punished early in the second half.
Thievy put his body on the line to meet Ferebory Dore s low cross, the striker sandwiched between Steeve Yago and goalkeeper Germain Sanou as he registered his second goal of the tournament.

The final Monday Night Football game of the 2021 NFL season takes place between the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers tonight.
Cleveland has been eliminated from the playoffs but Pittsburgh is holding on by a thread — and longtime quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will likely be playing his final home game at Heinz Field. Big Ben has gone a commanding 25-2-1 against Cleveland in his career and oddsmakers are expecting him to add to that tally with NFL betting lines jumping the fence to install the Steelers as 2.5-point home faves after they opened as underdogs.
Here are our best free Browns vs. Steelers NFL betting picks and predictions for Monday, January 3.

The first four weeks of the 2022 NFL season have been tighter than my waistband after a turkey dinner. And with Canadian Thanksgiving going down this weekend and NFL odds spreads shrinking by the game, football bettors could be popping the top button just to breathe on Sunday.
Over the past 22 seasons, there has been an average of 24.9 spreads of a field goal or shorter in the first four weeks, including 24 spreads of three or less between Week 1 and Week 4 in 2021.
So far in 2022, we’ve had 31 spreads of a field goal or less. That’s tight.
The current standings paint a picture of parity, with 14 teams sitting 2-2 SU and only eight teams boasting a winning record this fall. We’ve also had 47 of 64 total games played be decided by…
Sack props are one of the most recent player prop markets to hit the board and there’s plenty of betting value if you break down the NFL odds every week.
When it comes to Week 4 odds, I’m betting on a Steelers outside linebacker (no, not that one) to wreck a banged-up Texans line while also fading Saints edge Carl Granderson against an elite left tackle.
Then we get into Sunday Night Football, where I’m backing one of the best defensive players in the league to come away with another huge performance during prime-time. Here are my favorite NFL picks and sack props for Week 4.

Read on for my favorite milestone NFL picks for Week 14.

To the uninitiated, betting on NFL preseason odds seems like something only a “degenerate” gambler would do. That, however, depends on how you approach those NFL preseason bets.
If you’re waiting to wager on exhibition games just before kickoff, color yourself a nice “degen” shade of green. But if you’re among the “sharper” set that loves to get down on these tune-up tilts, you know the real work is done in the days leading up to those preseason games.
At no other point in the NFL season will teams and coaches reveal their plans for that week’s games: from quarterback rotations to the playing time of starters to the focus of the offense and defense.
All that information is out there to fi…
It is not just the self-awareness. What truly hits home with Ben Davies is the willingness to articulate how it feels to have all of those eyeballs trained on him; in the stadium and far beyond – to be at the centre of the madness.
“This game comes with insane amounts of pressure,” the Tottenham defender says. “And you’ve seen some players find it incredibly difficult. Let’s be honest, we are in a pressure cooker as Premier League players, of tough times being around the corner. Every action you do is judged by millions of people around the world. It’s pretty intense.”
