Paul-Jose Mpoku continued to dance on Sunday.

In the 67th minute of the quarter-final fixture between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations, Mpoku scored yet another phenomenal goal, rocketing a 30-yard shot past Razak Brimah to bring the Leopards level with the Black Stars.

It's not Mpoku's first moment of brilliance in Gabon. The Congolese midfielder scored via a sweet free-kick against Morocco in the group stage, curling his effort off the crossbar and into the back of the net.

Yannick Bolasie, unable to represent DR Congo after undergoing knee surgery and watching the Africa Cup of Nations from the confines of a white couch, celebrated Mpoku's equaliser with the type of passion for which the Leopards have become known.
