[I made a mistake in the previous chapter, I got confused by the venue, thinking it was Mexico playing against Uruguay. So, the final Group K table is Costa Rica in 2nd position, not Mexico.]
(GROUP K:)
(DR Congo vs Costa Rica)
(Venue: Estadio Monterrey, Mexico)
(Date: June 28th, 2026)
(Time: 15:00)
At the same time that Uruguay and Switzerland ducked it out at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico, DR Congo and Costa Rica also took on each other in a blockbuster Group K encounter that ended with just 1 goal separating both countries.
DR Congo lost 0-1 to Costa Rica, and with that, Costa Rica qualified to the knockouts as the 2nd best team in Group K ahead of Switzerland.
…
Group K drama was over, and a new Group took over the next day 29th.
