Tanzania have never won a game in three appearances at the Afcon finals, while DR Congo make the last 16 after missing out on the 2021 finalsDR 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.
