It's full-time in Guadalajara! Colombia are going to the Round of 32 after beating DR Congo 1-0, thanks to a solitary goal from Daniel Munoz. Colombia will now only need to avoid defeat in their highly anticipated final matchday showdown against Portugal to seal the top spot in Group K.

That's a wrap from us!

Vargas denies DR Congo! What a spectacular save from Vargas-his first major test of the night! Mubuku tries his luck with a venomous strike from outside the box that looked destined to rocket into the top corner, but Vargas flies across to make a massive save and deny DR Congo a late equaliser!

76' GOAL FOR COLOMBIA! Munoz breaks the deadlock in Guadalajara! Lerma holds off Banza to slide the ball towards Quintero, who then lays it off for Cordoba. The substitute, despite intense pressure from the defender, manages to slide a brilliant through ball into the path of Munoz, who side-foots it cleanly into the bottom left corner. Absolutely no chance for Mpasi this time!

74' First major chance for DR Congo! Lucumi sticks a leg out to keep Wissa's shot out. Great play from the Africans.

68' Another hydration break and we are still goalless in Guadalajara! Colombia have scored in each of their last 10 World Cup matches-the joint-longest active scoring streak of any side in the competition. Can they keep that record alive in the final minutes here?

62' Mpasi forces it out for a corner! Mojica floats a dangerous cross into the box, and Mpasi has to parry it away with a couple of Colombian players charging towards the back post.

56' Lucumi flattens Wissa and gets booked! That is the first yellow card of the match. Meanwhile, DR Congo make a move as Bakambu is replaced by Banza.

And it's a double change for Colombia! Suarez and James Rodriguez are off, replaced by Quintero and Cordoba.

50' Mpasi denies Diaz! First big save of the second half! James whips a driven cross into the center and it somehow reaches Diaz at the far post. He takes a touch and fires it towards goal with his left foot, but Mpasi sticks out a leg to deny him. DR Congo continue to frustrate Colombia!

We are back underway at the Guadalajara! No changes from the two teams. 

No goals in Guadalajara so far! Lionel Mpasi made as many as six saves to deny Colombia a goal. Daniel Munoz did have the ball in the back of the net for Colombia, but the goal was chalked off for offside. As things stand, Colombia will be on four points, behind leaders Portugal on goal difference. 

43' Almost a perfect cross from Masuaku! This one is whipped into a highly dangerous area, but it sails just over Bakambu's head. Still no shots on target for DR Congo, while Colombia have had six-all of them spectacularly saved by Mpasi.

37' Kayembe takes down James! That's a nasty foul from the Congolese midfielder. James seems to be in a lot of pain, but Kayembe somehow escapes a booking. Free-kick to Colombia-and it is right in James's territory!

30' If the score stays like this, Portugal will heavily benefit in their pursuit of the top spot in the group. Their 5-0 win over Uzbekistan massively boosted their goal difference, which could prove to be absolutely crucial in deciding who advances from Group K.

25' The players head towards the touchline for the first hydration break of the match. It's been total dominance so far: five shots on target for Colombia, while DR Congo are yet to open their account. The South Americans have been incredibly unfortunate not to be in front.

18' Mpasi to the rescue once again! He has been an incredibly busy man. Just minutes after denying Mojica, the Le Havre goalkeeper keeps out Arias's effort with a sensational flying save. DR Congo are hanging by a thread at the moment!

10' James drives one from distance, but it's pushed away by Mpasi! Colombia are firmly on the charge now, and DR Congo are living on the edge at the moment.

7' Munoz scores on the rebound, but he's offside! Another massive chance for Colombia, and it's that man again. The Crystal Palace full-back heads a cross towards goal, but it's parried unconvincingly by the keeper. Munoz is quickest to react, nodding the rebound into an empty net. Colombia celebrate, but the linesman's flag is up-he is offside!

5' Chance for Colombia! Munoz, completely free at the far post, has an open goal at his mercy, but he strikes it low against the outside of the post! That was an absolute sitter!

We are underway in Guadalajara! Colombia are attacking from left to right in this first half. However, it's DR Congo who get the first real opening of the match. Kayembe picks up the ball inside the Colombian half and unleashes a powerful left-footed shot, but it flies just wide of Vargas's goal.

The players emerge from the tunnel for the national anthems. First up is Colombia, followed by DR Congo. The stadium here in Guadalajara is absolutely packed for this crucial Group K clash.

Portugal's big win over Uzbekistan has blown Group K wide open, leaving all four teams in contention for qualification for the knockout stage. Portugal sit top with four points from two matches, while Colombia-having won their opener against Uzbekistan-can leapfrog them with a win over DR Congo.

Similarly, a DR Congo victory tonight would mean that the final matchday showdown between Portugal and Colombia becomes a virtual knockout.
