DR Congo aim to make more history when they face Uzbekistan in their final Group K clash at the 2026 FIFA World Cup – and you can live stream the game from anywhere for free.
The Leopards’ second World Cup appearance after 52 years away has proved to be long overdue. Yoane Wissa scored his nation’s first goal of the finals as Congo claimed their first point with an excellent 1-1 draw with Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal, and they are still in with a shout of reaching the last-32 despite falling to a narrow 1-0 defeat against Colombia last time out. If they are to reach the knockout stage for the first time, they must claim their first World Cup victory by beating Uzbekistan in Atlanta – and secure their place in the next round as one of the best third-placed teams. Sebastien Desabre’s men even have an outside chance of finishing second if they pull off a big win and Portugal lose to Colombia – not bad for a nation that conceded 14 goals and didn’t score in their previous appearance in the finals back in 1974 when they were known as Zaire.
World Cup debutants Uzbekistan will almost certainly go home after this match, but they have enjoyed some highlights along the way. Abbosbek Fayzullaev’s equalizer against Colombia – his country’s first goal of the tournament – will live long in the memory despite the eventual 3-1 defeat, while the experience of facing Ronaldo and Co would have felt surreal for a squad largely drawn from the Uzbekistan Super League. Fabio Cannavaro’s men cannot finish higher than third in Group K and a -7 goal difference means they will need to beat Congo to have even the slightest hope of qualifying. However, they still have the chance to make history and claim their first World Cup point – or even their first World Cup win.
