🧠 Match Summary

vs

Uzbekistan struck first through Eldor Shomurodov in the 10th minute, threatening what would have been a major upset in Atlanta, but DR Congo responded with authority to secure a commanding 3-1 victory and book their place in the knockout rounds of FIFA World Cup 2026. The Leopards dominated possession at 58% and fired 19 shots to Uzbekistan's three, eventually breaking through when Yoane Wissa converted a penalty in the 68th minute to level the tie.

The floodgates then opened as Fiston Mayele extended the lead in the 78th minute, and Wissa sealed the win deep into stoppage time to complete a decisive turnaround. Felix Zwayer oversaw a feisty contest in which Uzbekistan conceded 16 fouls, reflecting the mounting pressure they faced throughout the second half.
