Colombia secure qualification for the World Cup knockout stage with a 1-0 win over DR Congo in Group K. Multiple reports say Daniel Muñoz scores the decisive goal in the 76th minute, breaking a long period in which DR Congo kept the match level despite Colombia’s sustained attacking play. Sources describe Colombia as the team with the most control and chances, repeatedly creating opportunities, while DR Congo’s defence and goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi frustrate them for much of the evening. BBC Sport and other outlets also note that the finish is deflected, with one report describing it as a deflected strike. The result gives Colombia a Group K win and moves them into the round of 32 with a game to spare. France 24 and others report Colombia climb back to the top of Group K as a result of the victory. Several outlets add that Colombian fans eventually celebrate after the late breakthrough, and that this is a strong run following Colombia’s opening win over Uzbekistan.
