DR Congo's return to the FIFA World Cup has been nothing short of magical. Fresh off their first-ever tournament point and goal, the Leopards now face Group K leaders Colombia at Guadalajara Stadium in a fascinating clash of styles.
After failing to qualify in 2022, Los Cafeteros were clinical in their opening match against debutants Uzbekistan, securing a 3-1 victory. Second-half strikes from Luis Diaz and Jaminton Campaz sealed a comfortable win. Nestor Lorenzo's men will look to carry that momentum forward and book their place in the knockout stage with a victory over DR Congo, ranked 46th in the world when the tournament began.
Yoane Wissa's equalizer in first-half stoppage-time earned the Leopards a memorable 1-1 draw against mighty Portugal. Sebastien Desabre's men are not to be taken lightly – a lesson Portugal learned the hard way. Can Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Wissa, and Cedric Bakambu conjure an unlikely upset and throw Group K wide open? Real Betis forward Bakambu excelled up front – what price a first win for the side who lost all three games by an aggregate 14-0 the last time they appeared in the tournament 52 years ago.
