00:04Colombia secured their place in the FIFA World Cup round of 32 with a game to spare after a 1
00:10-0
00:10victory over DR Congo and Group K on Tuesday. With Daniel Munoz scoring the winner after the
00:16South Americans had been frustrated for much of the evening, Colombia moved to six points
00:21from two matches and guaranteed their progress to the knockout stage ahead of their final group
00:26game against Portugal, who beat Uzbekistan 5-0 earlier on Tuesday. DR Congo remained on one point
00:34and will need a result against Uzbekistan to keep their qualification hopes alive.
00:40Colombia dominated possession and created the better chances throughout, but were repeatedly
00:45denied by goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi, who produced a series of saves to keep out efforts from James
00:51Rodriguez, Luis Diaz, and John Arias. The breakthrough finally arrived in the 76th minute when Juan
00:59Quintero's pass found Munoz surging into the penalty area, and the defender fired a low shot that took
01:05a deflection on its way past Mpasi.
