DR Congo Make History, Reach World Cup Knockouts

The win made Congo the ninth African team to advance to the knockout rounds in the expanded 48-team tournament.

Wissa, who struggled for playing time at Newcastle United, was the hero, capitalizing on his World Cup chance.

Congo will now face a formidable England side, but confidence is high.

The team's success has sparked celebrations back home, uniting a nation often beset by conflict.
