Colombia Beat DR Congo to Reach World Cup Knockouts

Colombia dominated large stretches of the match but were repeatedly denied by Congo goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi until Muñoz’s effort broke the deadlock.

The win guaranteed Colombia a spot in the knockout stage with one group match remaining against Portugal.

It marked a triumphant return for Los Cafeteros, who missed the 2022 tournament.

DR Congo, competing in their first World Cup since 1974, were left needing a result against Uzbekistan to stay alive.
