Daniel Munoz’s second-half strike was enough to see a dominant Colombia beat DR Congo 1-0 as the South Americans secured their place in the World Cup last 32.
Colombia, who had 20 efforts on goal, were made to wait until 14 minutes from time to make the breakthrough at the Estadio Guadalajara after an inspired performance by DR Congo goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi.
However, there was nothing Mpasi could do to stop Munoz’s deflected shot as the Crystal Palace player scored his second goal of the tournament to keep his side top of Group K. DR Congo will join them in the knockouts if they beat Uzbekistan on Sunday.
In fact, the central African side could be England’s opponents in the last 32 if they finish third in their group and Thomas Tuchel’s side top their section.
