Colombia defeats DR Congo to lead Group K at World Cup 2026

Colombia beat the Democratic Republic of Congo 1‑0 on 23 June 2024 in Guadalajara, Mexico, with a 76th‑minute goal from defender Daniel Muñoz. The win gave Néstor Lorenzo’s side six points, placing them level on points with Portugal at the top of Group K.

Both teams now await their final group matches, with Colombia set to face Portugal on 27 June in Miami to decide the group leader. The result also leaves DR Congo with one point, still alive for a possible third‑place qualification depending on the last round of games.

Portugal’s earlier 5‑0 victory over Uzbekistan positioned them as strong contenders, while Uzbekistan remain winless. The group standings will be finalized after the remaining fixtures on 27 June.
