The Democratic Republic of Congo made a stunning comeback in Atlanta on Saturday in order to clinch their first World Cup knockout in 52 years.

While Uzbekistan took an early lead in the match, with captain Eldor Shomurodov scoring the first goal in the first 20 seconds of the match, the goal was eventually ruled out due to a review.

However, Yoane Wissa took the African side into the lead with two goals, including a second-half penalty. Meanwhile, substitute Fiston Mayele also managed to score a goal to tilt the scales even more in Congo's favour.
