Colombia React To Sealing Progress To Round Of 32 After Nervy 1-0 Win Over Congo

Daniel Muñoz helped Colombia break through Congo’s stingy defense 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. It was Muñoz’s second goal in the tournament, and the Crystal Palace fullback was named the man of the match.
