\n

As anybody who\u2019s ever encountered Mexican traffic jams will know, there are times when it feels you\u2019ll never get through the impasse. Colombia<\/a> must have felt the same about the DR Congo goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi, who made an outrageous string of saves that looked like earning his side an unlikely point. But the Le Havre keeper was finally beaten, a deflection giving Colombia their second win and securing their passage to the last 32.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

It was Daniel Mu\u00f1oz who got the goal, the Crystal Palace right-back\u2019s second in as many games, as he cut in from the right with half the DRC side seemingly distracted by a penalty appeal at the edge of the box. His shot flicked off Steve Kapuadi, wrong-footing Mpasi and going in at the near post. \u201cOur goalkeeper was excellent today,\u201d said the DRC coach S\u00e9bastien Desabre. \u201cBut I\u2019m not surprised. He has been playing well for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thereafter Mpasi passed his duties in thwarting Colombia to the linesman, who twice ruled out extravagant finishes from Luis D\u00edaz for offside. A draw in their final game, against Portugal, will be enough for Colombia to top the group and secure a tie against a best third-place team in Kansas City. Defeat would mean second place and a meeting with the runner-up in England\u2019s group in Toronto.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe boys played a brilliant game,\u201d said the Colombia coach N\u00e9stor Lorenzo. \u201cWe should have scored more. With these teams you have to find the spaces between the lines. If not, if you play in a structured way, they pressure you and hit on the counter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colombian fans may have predominated, with more than 90% of the stadium bedecked in yellow, but the most striking fan was from DR Congo. Michel Kuka Mboladinga, who looks like Patrice Lumumba, wears brightly coloured suits in national colours and remains perfectly still during matches, was present, standing on a stool at the front of the stand, right arm raised. He had missed DRC\u2019s opening game in Houston, the draw against Portugal, despite his US visa having seemingly been granted, but he arrived, accompanied by a bodyguard wearing leopard skin, to be greeted by huge cheers from Colombian fans in the car park.<\/p>\n

As against Uzbekistan in their first game, the yellow-clad hordes had to wait for the breakthrough, but this time it was not for want of chances. With Colombia controlling midfield in the early stages, it felt that a goal had to come. First Mpasi denied Jhon Arias and Mu\u00f1oz fired into the side-netting. Then the keeper dived full-length to his left to deflect a James Rodr\u00edguez shot wide, shovelled away a Johan Mojica long-ranger and blocked a D\u00edaz shot. And all of that was in the first 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

But the hydration break, as in so many games, broke the momentum. Desabre may look like a morally questionable Scottish solicitor from an early-evening ITV drama but the French coach has not got DR Congo to their first World Cup<\/a> in 52 years by chance, or even through murky deals with the procurator fiscal. He made a couple of tweaks, tightened up the midfield, and suddenly, just like the approach road to the Estadio Jalisco, the way through was no longer clear.<\/p>\n

Five minutes into the second half, Mpasi saved DRC again, denying D\u00edaz with his left foot before Ar\u00edas put the rebound wide. The reaction of the former Wolves midfielder, crashing to earth with head in hands, suggested just how frustrated Colombia were becoming. Low blocks, as England and Croatia had found earlier in the day, are not easy to penetrate. If a lock needs unpicking, though, it\u2019s handy to have an experienced specialist locksmith to bring on. This is not a Colombia side that lacks creativity.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

DRC\u2019s back five, though, defended superbly for the final three quarters of the game, protected by the midfield three with Yoane Wissa linking to a lone centre-forward. Sunderland\u2019s Noah Sadiki came on at half-time for Ngal\u2019ayel Mukau on the right side of the midfield shield, his prodigious engine ensuring there was no danger of DRC running out of legs. They had had the first shot of the game, Edo Kayembe flashing a shot just wide in the first minute but thereafter it was all about retreating behind the barricades.<\/p>\n

And it very nearly worked. They very nearly did hold out. But the risk for any side who looks only to soak up punishment is a stroke of ill fortune such as did befall them. Kinshasa, the capital of DRC, may have been where Muhammad Ali pulled off his rope-a-dope against George Foreman but this was a side just clinging on; there was no capacity suddenly to launch a counter-attack against an exhausted opponent, even if Nathana\u00ebl Mbuku did draw Camilo Vargas into a late save with a long-range drive. But still, there was something magnificent in their defiance, and a win over Uzbekistan in their final game would almost certainly carry them through.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have played the two favourites in the group, ranked fifth and 13th [at the start of the tournament],\u201d said Desabre. \u201cThis is lots of experience we\u2019ve been faced with. We
will have to take risks. Our approach will have to be different. A draw will not be enough.\u201d This, though, was a night when DRC resistance was eventually overcome
by Colombian persistence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
