Yoane Wissa has started the season in great form.
Looking like a ‘new’ player for Newcastle United after his injury, fitness and form issues last season.
Whilst for his country, it is business as usual.
On Thursday, Yoane Wissa scored a seventh goal in his last 11 DR Congo appearances as they won 2-0 against Equatorial Guinea in the opening AFCON qualifying group match of this international window.
Now on Monday the United striker has made it eight goals in his last 12 internationals, scoring after half an hour against Zimbabwe.
Yoane Wissa then getting an assist when laying on the second goal for Moutoussamy on the stroke of half-time.
Zimbabwe got a consolation goal in the 93rd minute but a 2-1 victory means that it is two wins and six points for DR Congo in their AFCON qualifiers this window. Whilst for Yoane Wissa it is two goals and an assist in less than three hours of play this international window, the NUFC star one of a couple of subs made in the 84th minutes when DR Congo led 2-0.
