Daniel Muniz named man of the match as Colombia beat Congo

Daniel Muniz was named the match's best player after Colombia's 1-0 win over Congo in their final Group K match of the second round at the 2026 World Cup.

The defender, who also scored in Colombia's previous game against Uzbekistan, played a steady role at the back as Colombia kept another clean sheet and collected a second straight victory.

Muniz's award capped a strong run for the South American side's defence in the group stage. Colombia finished the game with the only goal and maintained momentum in the section.
