A stunning upset and historic advancement for the Democratic Republic of the Congo! The Africans may have been caught off guard by a feisty Uzbekistan team, but with a spirited performance in the second half, they managed to score three goals and prevail 3-1, securing their spot in the knockout stage as the second-best third-place team from the World Cup groups and will face England.

Meanwhile, Colombia and Portugal were locked in a thrilling 0-0 draw, but the Latin Americans, took first place in the group and could have done so by a wider margin, but their missed chances— Diogo Costa, and Sanchez’s disallowed goal in the 90th minute left them with seven points and sent them to face Ghana.
