The stakes
Full time: DR Congo 3-1 Uzbekistan — a Group K result now baked into the table.
The two sides
DR CongoBack after 52 years, already shocking
The Leopards back after 52 years, arriving as 200-1 outsiders and DRAWING World No. 5 Portugal, heading home their first World Cup goal in half a century. A nation that never stopped believing it belonged.
UzbekistanTheir first-ever World Cup
Writing chapter one — a first World Cup ever, grown men weeping at qualification, coached by 2006 winner Cannavaro with a Manchester City defender at the back. Every minute is brand-new history.
