In this match, the African side hoped to sit back defensively as they did against Portugal. However, this time their plan did not succeed. Their goalkeeper managed to save eight shots on target but eventually conceded once, which ultimately decided the outcome of the game.
This result puts DR Congo in a position where they must defeat Uzbekistan, who themselves will be eager to secure at least a point in the World Cup. Meanwhile, Colombia can already relax, as two victories have guaranteed their progression to the knockout stages.
