Congo-Kinshasa opened the World Cup with a shock 1-1 draw against Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal. Against Colombia, the team continued to resist, with the score level well into the second half. Colombia's Daniel Muñoz scored in the 76th minute to make it 1-0, and that held for the rest of the match.

The result means Colombia are certain to advance after taking the maximum six points from two matches. Congo-Kinshasa is in third place with one point.

Congo-Kinshasa goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi again put in a strong performance, making several difficult saves against a dominant Colombia.

Colombia will face Portugal in the next match, where a draw will be enough to win the group. Congo-Kinshasa still has a theoretical chance of advancing from the group.
