GUADALAJARA, Mexico (AP) — Daniel Muñoz helped Colombia break through Congo’s stingy defence and advance to the knockout stage of the World Cup with a 1-0 win on Tuesday night.
Muñoz scored in the 76th minute after the Colombians had been held back by a strong performance from Congo goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi, who made five difficult saves in the first 20 minutes.
Mpasi had no chance to stop Muñoz’s left-footed strike from inside the area after the ball deflected off a defender.
