Colombia 1:0 Congo Democrático — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Daniel Muñoz's second-half header proved the difference as Colombia edged past DR Congo 1-0 in a tense World Cup encounter, the defender's goal securing a victory that sets up a meeting with Ghana in July. It was a contest that never truly caught fire, with both sides struggling to impose themselves in the final third until Muñoz's intervention.

The match's pivotal moment arrived in the 76th minute when Juan Quintero's clipped cross found Daniel Muñoz at the far post, the full-back guiding a firm header beyond the reach of the DR Congo goalkeeper. Earlier, a lengthy VAR check in the sixth minute had interrupted the flow, though no card was ultimately produced, while Jhon Lucumí's 56th-minute booking for Colombia was followed by late yellows for Charles Pickel and Jefferson Lerma as the game frayed towards its conclusion.

Colombia deserved the win, having been the better side throughout despite failing to make their dominance count for long stretches. CheckLive's model rated Colombia marginally ahead, and the result confirmed that assessment, with the live signal backing the home side at 1.13 and proving correct. Colombia now face Ghana on 4 July.
