Algeria face DR Congo in AFCON last-16 — kick-off times and how to watch

Goal: Algeria and DR Congo meet in the Africa Cup of Nations last-16 in Morocco, with kick-off scheduled for 14:00 EST and 19:00 GMT.

Algeria won all three of their group games, have scored eight goals (more than any other team) and conceded the joint-fewest (one), while DR Congo have also shipped just one goal at AFCON 2025. Algeria’s Riyad Mahrez has three tournament goals, and DR Congo playmaker Gael Kakuta — once of Chelsea — recorded a brace and an assist in their 3-0 win against Botswana; Vladimir Petkovic’s side will need to be at their best to progress.
