Congo DR vs South Africa

Ben Anderson investigates the trials and tribulations of the Democratic Republic of Congo's campaign. In a war-torn country, where disease, famine and poverty take a terrible toll, football represents an escape. With no proper pitches on which to train, coach Claude Le Roy takes his team to France. But players flee the camp and he's forced to pay the hotel bill. Can he create a strong team from this chaos to beat South Africa and qualify for the first time since 1974?
