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.

Who will win the match between Colombia and DR Congo?
Colombia are the form favourites with better recent results and a higher chance according to projections. DR Congo are organised and tough to break down, which could lead to a close game. Colombia's attacking quality gives them the edge in what should be a tight World Cup group fixture.
Who has better form coming into this match?
Colombia have won three consecutive matches, while DR Congo are winless in three. However, DR Congo's defensive record is strong, conceding only three goals in that span. Form ratings are nearly level, with DR Congo slightly ahead, indicating a competitive balance.
Will both teams score in Colombia vs DR Congo?
Colombia have scored in nine of their last ten matches, while DR Congo have kept two clean sheets in their last three. Both sides have been solid defensively, so the chance of both scoring is moderate. CheckLive's model suggests a low-scoring affair with one or two goals at most.
