In the Africa Cup of Nations held on 27 March 2023, Congo pulled off a tightly contested 1-0 victory against South Sudan. Scoring the only goal of the match at around the 30th minute of the second half, Congo displayed superior offensive strategies and capitalized on their chances compared to the home team.

In terms of goals, Congo managed to find the back of the net once in contrast to South Sudan who couldn't convert any of their opportunities. The game was characterized by an aggressive approach from both ends, reflected in the large number of fouls, 22 by South Sudan and 13 by Congo. This aggressive style, particularly from South Sudan, resulted in a significantly high number of yellow cards, with South Sudan earning four compared to just a single one for Congo.

Analyzing corner kicks as indicator of the pressure applied, Congo showed their clear dominance by earning 10 to South Sudan's 3. This reflects Congo's greater control of the game, and ability to put their opponents on the back foot, creating more chances and attacking opportunities.

Offside violations were minimal and equally distributed with each team having been flagged offside once. South Sudan's aggressive strategy reflected again in the number of fouls which were significantly higher than that of Congo. This perhaps underscores their effort to disrupt Congo's play but eventually led to more disciplined issues, as reflected in the number of yellow cards.

Both teams played out the match without any red cards or substitutions, reflecting perhaps a strategy on both sides to stick to their initial game plan without any major adjustments throughout the match.

In conclusion, Congo's control of the game and successful defensive tactics, as well as their ability to capitalize on the created opportunities, led them to a well-deserved victory. South Sudan, on the other hand, need to adjust their strategy to decrease the number of fouls and increase their scoring chances. Their high number of fouls and yellow cards could be indicative of a less-disciplined approach, which they will need to address in their future matches.
