00:00The Democratic Republic of Congo and Algeria have become the eighth and ninth African teams
00:06to advance to the knockout stage of the World Cup, making history for the continent.
00:10Tunisia was the only qualifying team not to make it through.
00:14The DRC's 3-1 victory against Uzbekistan, its first ever in the tournament, was enough
00:19to clinch its spot while Algeria battled to an extraordinary 3-3 draw against Austria
00:24and Ghana advanced to the knockout round for the first time since 2010, despite a 2-1 loss to Croatia.
00:32Success and failure are part of life. If you don't fail, you can always learn.
00:37So I believe that this game has taught us a great lesson to taste failure
00:44and then that will be turned into life success in our next round.
00:48Yay! Go Ghana! Go Ghana!
00:54Only six African countries had ever qualified for the knockout stage of the World Cup,
