Luis Díaz starts for Colombia in their second group stage match at the 2026 World Cup against DR Congo. FC Bayern’s superstar won “Man of the Match” against Uzbekistan after contributing a goal and an assist in the 3-1 victory.

Former Bayern attacker James Rodriguez also keeps his place in Néstor Lorenzo's unchanged starting XI, while three more players with past Bundesliga experience start on the bench for Los Cafeteros – Santiago Arias, Gustavo Puerta (both Bayer Leverkusen), and Jhon Córdoba (Mainz, Köln and Hertha BSC).

Yoane Wissa helped DR Congo to their first-ever World Cup point when they held Portugal on matchday one. Cristiano Ronaldo’s historic night in Houston lifted five-star Portugal as they sit top of the group with four points.

Here are the two lineups for the game at Guadalajara Stadium.
