Colombia Go Top as Muñoz Settles Group K Clash
Colombia moved to the summit of Group K at the World Cup 2026 hub with a tight 1–0 victory over DR Congo on 23 June 2026. The match’s decisive moment arrived in the 76th minute when Muñoz found the net to separate the two sides and wrap up three valuable points for Colombia.
For long stretches the game remained goalless, but Muñoz’s strike proved enough to settle a contest that DR Congo could not find a way back into after falling behind.
Group K Implications
The result leaves Colombia in commanding shape at the top of Group K with six points from two matches. Portugal sit second on four points, also from two games, while DR Congo drop to third on one point. Uzbekistan remain bottom without a point after two outings.
The live World Cup 2026 standings show Colombia well-placed heading into the final round of group fixtures, with Portugal the only side who can realistically match their points tally. DR Congo, on one point, will need a positive result in their remaining match to stand any chance of progressing, while Uzbekistan must win and hope for help from elsewhere.
