AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
Uzbekistan struck first when Eldor Shomurodov converted an Abbosbek Fayzullaev assist in the 10th minute, and that goal held up as the score at the break. Congo DR needed a spot kick to draw level, with Yoane Wissa scoring from the penalty spot in the 68th minute to make it 1-1.
The hosts then took control late on. F. Mayele put Congo DR ahead in the 78th minute, finishing off a chance created by M. Elia, and Wissa completed his brace deep into stoppage time, again assisted by Elia, to make it 3-1 in the 90+1st minute and confirm the turnaround.
