⚽️ In the 76th minute, Daniel Muñoz finds the net for Colombia, slipping the ball past the Congo goalkeeper at his near post! There he goes again! Cordoba does a fantastic job using his strength and sets up the left-footed Muñoz. The deflection is crucial, and Colombia takes the lead. Muñoz also netted his first goal against Uzbekistan in the last group-stage game. He is on fire!!! Imagine!!!!!  The moment of redemption. Daniel Muñoz came close to scoring in the first half, but his header, which he tapped in, was deemed offside after a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) check.
