<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; line-height: 20px;"><i><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-small;">Democratic Republic of Congo players hoist the CHAN 2016 trophy aloft at Amahoro stadium</span></i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A brace by Mechak Elia and another by Jonathan Bolingi handed the Democratic Republic of Congo a 3-0 win over Mali at the final of 2016 African Nations Championship (Chan) on Sunday at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali Rwanda.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In the presence of 35,000 spectators, 90 percent of those Congo fans, and 21,000 of them enduring the heavy downpour, Congo were applauded every minute as the side wrote history.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The script was the same on the field of play as the 2009 winners forced their way through Mali's defense from the onset.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Although on the other hand, both teams were denied their styles of play by a slippery pitch as the game unfolded under heavy downpours.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After 28 minutes, Congo got the breakthrough when Mechak Elia opened down the left wing, beating his marker before sending a powerful shot past Djgui Diarra.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Mali's attack struggled to match Congo's defense before the latter doubled their lead after 62 minutes.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The same man Elia drifted from the left, taking advantage of Mali's defensive lapse.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He even had time to beat Djgui Diarra and shoot in an empty net, as Congo led 2-0.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Mali lost the fighting power and with 18 minutes left on the clock, Congo launched an onslaught again with brilliant passes, Jonathan Bolingi finishing in style for a 3-0 advantage.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The outfit became the first team to win two Chan titles since it's inception in 2009.</span></div>
