It was a fast start from Colombia, which saw Munoz strike the outside of the post from close range after Jhon Arias' initial effort was parried away by Lionel Mpasi.

Munoz thought he scored the opener in the sixth minute, bundling in on the goal line after his first header was saved, but the Crystal Palace right-back was offside from Johan Mojica's initial cross.

Mpasi had a busy first half in the DR Congo goal, denying Luis Diaz's well-crafted effort as well as long-distance attempts from James Rodriguez and Gustavo Puerta.

The DR Congo goalkeeper was called upon again five minutes after the break, thwarting Diaz with his left leg before Arias inexplicably missed the target on the rebound.

Colombia eventually broke the deadlock in the 76th minute; Jhon Cordoba allowed Juan Fernando Quintero's pass to roll through to Munoz, who saw his shot deflect off Steve Kapuadi and into the bottom-left corner.

There was still time for more drama as Diaz saw two goals ruled out, first for a foul and then for offside, before Camilo Vargas went full stretch to tip Nathanael Mbuku's long-range strike around the post in the 91st minute.
