About this match

In 1974, Zaire — now DR Congo — made their only World Cup appearance and became famous for the incident where Mwepu Ilunga kicked the ball before a free kick was taken against Brazil, a gesture now understood as a protest against Mobutu's dictatorship. More than half a century later, Congolese football returns to the World Cup with a thirst for redemption, facing Colombia and their cumbia-infused football that charms with style but also knows how to be lethal. It is Central African passion against South American swagger.
