DR Congo reached the knockout stage of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations after a goalless draw with Tanzania in Korhogo.
The result eliminated the East Africans, who had needed to win to progress themselves.
A point was enough for DR Congo to finish second in Group F behind Morocco, who topped the table thanks to their 1-0 win over Zambia.
The prize for the Leopards is a last-16 tie against Egypt, with Morocco taking on South Africa.
The results in Group F were also enough to see tournament hosts Ivory Coast sneak into the second round as the last of four best third-placed teams.
