Congo DR dominated Uzbekistan at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, winning 3-1 in their final Group K match. Uzbekistan struck first through Shomurodov in the tenth minute, but Congo DR controlled proceedings thereafter. Yoane Wissa, named player of the match, scored twice from the penalty spot and in injury time, with Fiston Mayele adding the third. The home side's superiority was evident in possession and shooting—they managed nineteen shots to Uzbekistan's three, though converting only four on target. Both teams are now eliminated from advancing out of the group, though Congo DR's four points slightly ahead of their opponents' zero give them marginally better standing as the World Cup continues.
