Uzbekistan meet Congo DR in must-win Group K clash

Uzbekistan face Congo DR on Saturday in a match that could define their debut World Cup campaign. After opening with a 3–1 loss to Colombia, Fabio Cannavaro's side sit bottom of Group K and need points to keep their knockout hopes alive. Congo DR enter as favourites, but Uzbekistan have shown they can compete at this level, with Fazyullaev already scoring the nation's first ever World Cup goal against Colombia. Kickoff is today.
