DR Congo secured a historic 3-1 victory over Uzbekistan, marking their first-ever World Cup win and qualifying for the last 32. Yoane Wissa scored twice, contributing to DR Congo's success. Uzbekistan initially took the lead with Eldor Shomurodov's goal, but Wissa equalized from a penalty. Fiston Mayele then scored to put DR Congo ahead, and Wissa sealed the win with his second goal in stoppage time. The win means DR Congo will face England in the next round.
