Colombia made it two wins from two at World Cup 2026 with a patient 1–0 victory over a stubborn Congo DR at Estadio Akron in Guadalajara, Daniel Muñoz's late goal settling a tight contest and sending the South Americans top of Group K.

For long periods, Congo DR frustrated Colombia with a disciplined, compact display, and the game remained goalless deep into the second half.

Muñoz Breaks the Deadlock

The decisive moment came on 76 minutes. Muñoz timed his run to meet Juan Fernando Quintero's pass and finished to break Congolese resistance, sparking relief and celebration among the Colombian support.

Congo DR pushed forward late in search of an equaliser but could not breach a Colombian defence that has now kept two clean sheets, underlining the balance in this side.
