Colombia eventually managed to defeat a heroic DR Congo, but they had to sweat for it. In the night of June 23 to 24, in Guadalajara, the Cafeteros won 1-0 against the Leopards on the second matchday of Group K, thanks to a deflected shot from Daniel Muñoz in the 75th minute. But the real hero of the evening wore the Congolese jersey.
RD Congo
It was the headline match of Group L this Tuesday night in Boston. Facing an England side presented as one of the tournament favorites after their big win against Croatia (4-2), Ghana rose to the challenge. Result: a goalless draw (0-0) earned with discipline and character, which puts the Black Stars in an excellent position for qualification.
Ghana
Off to a poor start after two defeats in their first two games, Senegal still has a real chance of securing their ticket to the next round of the 2026 World Cup. A 1-0 victory against Iraq could even be enough for the Lions, provided that several favorable results occur in the other groups.

After holding Portugal to a 1-1 draw in their big return to the World Cup, DR Congo faces Colombia, another heavyweight in Group K, early this Wednesday (2am GMT) for their second outing in the competition.

RD Congo
After Panama and a 1-0 victory, Ghana will face a big challenge this Tuesday evening. The Black Stars will take on the Three Lions of England at 8pm GMT in Group L in Boston.

After the heavy defeat against Norway at the 2026 World Cup, Senegal is on the verge of collapse and sees its chances of qualification shrinking dramatically. At the heart of this tactical disaster, coach Pape Thiaw is the focus of all criticism.

After the collective collapse against Argentina (0-3), Vladimir Petkovic chose continuity rather than revolution. Compared to the team fielded against Argentina, the coach kept 9 players and maintained his trust in elements who had nevertheless struggled, such as Luca Zidane, Rafik Belghali, or Hicham Boudaoui. A bet on the solidity of the group rather than a complete overhaul.
Algérie
Overwhelmed by Erling Haaland’s Norway (3-2), an unrecognizable Senegal undermined by defensive errors collapsed in its second group stage match of the 2026 World Cup. Now on the brink of elimination, Pape Thiaw’s men have no choice left: they must absolutely outclass Iraq on Friday to hope for a miraculous qualification among the best third-placed teams.
Sénégal
Having completely missed its start in this 2026 World Cup, Algeria can no longer afford a misstep on this second matchday against Jordan this Tuesday (3 am GMT). A reaction of pride is expected from the Fennecs, who disappointed against Argentina (3-0 defeat).
Algérie
June 21, 2026, a new historic date for Cape Verdean football. Cape Verde scored for the first time in the World Cup. And it was Kevin Pina who netted this goal from a free kick against Uruguay at the Miami stadium in Group H of the 2026 World Cup.
Cap-Vert
The den trembles. After the opening defeat against France (3-1), the Lions of Senegal approach their second World Cup outing with absolute certainty: tonight against Norway (00h GMT), it's win or fold.
