At the World Cup, there have already been one or two surprises from supposedly smaller footballing nations. The Democratic Republic of the Congo was among them after drawing with Portugal. Now, in the round of 32, the Africans have also caught England cold. After just seven minutes, the World Cup underdog took the lead against the Three Lions.
Cipenga got on the end of a strong cross near the edge of the penalty area and caught England keeper Jordan Pickford on the wrong foot with his finish into the near corner.
