2026 World Cup, the overnight round-up

As every morning, OneFootball brings you the overnight World Cup recap!


The must-see moment of the night​


Michel Kuka Mboladinga, nicknamed “Lumumba,” the iconic Democratic Republic of the Congo supporter since the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year, had missed the Leopards’ first match of the 2026 World Cup due to restrictions linked to the Ebola outbreak affecting the country.

After a period of quarantine, he was indeed there for Group K’s second match against Colombia last night!

Unfortunately, DR Congo lost; but the real attraction of the night was him!

The 3 players who stood out​


Goalkeepers are on fire in this edition, and Lionel Mpasi-Nzau, the Congolese keeper, proved it again last night! With eight saves against Colombia, the Le Havre player delivered a monstrous performance despite his team’s defeat.

The only player who managed to beat him was Daniel Muñoz, the right-back, who scored his second goal in two matches for Colombia!

Finally, earlier in the night, Luka Modrić put on a show in his 200th cap for Croatia against Panama.
