D. Muñoz settled a one-sided contest at Estadio Akron, converting in the 76th minute — assisted by substitute J. Quintero — to give Colombia a 1-0 victory over Congo DR. The goal was the lone moment of genuine penetration converted into a score across a match in which Colombia generated 19 shots and nine on target to Congo DR's five shots and none on target. Congo DR's low defensive block largely held until that 76th-minute breakthrough, with their goalkeeper and a collective 0.39 goals-prevented figure keeping the margin tight despite Colombia's sustained territorial advantage.

The three points move Colombia into a strong position in Group K of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Congo DR, who finished with 36 percent possession and an xG of 0.26, remain without a point. Colombia's xG of 0.99 reflected consistent pressure that finally told through Muñoz's finish. J. Quintero and L. Suarez had entered as second-half substitutes at the 58th minute, and Quintero's assist proved the decisive contribution of those changes.
