DR Congo book England clash, Colombia face a confident rival next
DR Congo beat Uzbekistan 3–1 in Group K on Tuesday, booking a round of 16 clash with England and a goal from Yoane Wissa (1). The result means DR Congo sit level with Colombia on three points heading into your final group match. A positive result against DR Congo would still secure progression, but they arrive with real momentum and a clear message. "We deserve to play England," Wissa said afterwards (1). Colombia beat Uzbekistan 3–1 in their opener, and that sharpness will be needed against a DR Congo side now eyeing the knockout stage.
