Democratic Republic of Congo aim to make more history when they take on Uzbekistan in their final Group K match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup – and you can stream the match live and free from anywhere.
The Leopards’ second participation in the World Cup after 52 years of absence was worth it. Yoane Wissa scored his country’s first goal in the final as Congo claimed their first point with an excellent 1-1 draw against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal and they are still in position to reach the last 16, despite a narrow 1-0 defeat to Colombia last time out. If they want to reach the round of 16 for the first time, they need to secure their first World Cup victory by beating Uzbekistan in Atlanta, sealing their place in the next round as one of the best third-place teams. Sébastien Desabre’s men even have an outside chance of finishing second if they claim a big victory and Portugal lose to Colombia – not bad for a nation who conceded 14 goals and scored none in their previous appearance at the finals in 1974, when they were known as Zaire.
Uzbekistan, making their World Cup debut, will almost certainly return home after this match, but they have had some highlights along the way. Abbosbek Fayzullaev’s equalizer against Colombia – his country’s first goal of the tournament – will long be remembered despite the eventual 3-1 defeat, while the experience of facing Ronaldo and Co would have seemed surreal for a team largely drawn from the Uzbekistan Super League. Fabio Cannavaro’s men can finish no higher than third in Group K and a -7 goal difference means they would have to beat Congo to have any hope of qualifying. However, they still have the chance to make history and claim their first World Cup point – or even their first World Cup victory.
