Colombia struggled against Congo for much of the match. Congo goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi had an outstanding day, denying several clear chances from Luis Díaz and James Rodríguez. It was not until the 76th minute that Muñoz beat the keeper with a left-footed shot.

With two wins in two games, Colombia has already secured a spot in the round of 16. A draw against Portugal on Sunday would be enough to win the group. Congo, with one point, still has a chance to advance and will face Uzbekistan in their final group match.
