DR Congo’s return to the FIFA World Cup was nothing short of magical. Fresh from their first ever point and goal in the tournament, the Leopards now face Group K leaders Colombia at the 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 victory. Nestor Lorenzo’s men will look to continue this momentum and book their place in the round of 16 with a victory over DR Congo, ranked 46th in the world at the start of the tournament.
Yoane Wissa’s equalizer in first-half stoppage time earned the Leopards a memorable 1-1 draw against mighty Portugal. Sébastien Desabre’s men should not be taken lightly, a lesson that Portugal learned to their cost. Can Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Wissa and Cedric Bakambu create an improbable upset and blow Group K wide open? Real Betis striker Bakambu excelled up front – what a price for a first victory for the team who lost their three matches by an aggregate score of 14-0 when they last appeared at the tournament, 52 years ago.
