Colombia secured a 1-0 victory over the Democratic Republic of Congo on Tuesday, keeping their hopes of advancing from Group K alive at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The match at Guadalajara Stadium in Mexico remained deadlocked for much of the evening as DRC goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi produced a series of saves to frustrate the South Americans.
Colombia finally found a breakthrough in the 76th minute when defender Daniel Munoz scored the game’s only goal, securing all three points.
The victory moved Colombia onto six points and sealed their spot in the World Cup round of 32.
