DR Congo secured a 1–0 victory over Jamaica in FIFA World Cup qualifying on 31 March, claiming three points through resolute defending and clinical finishing despite a possession disadvantage. The hosts controlled proceedings with a 4–4–1–1 formation, registering 19 shots to Jamaica's six, though only three found the target; their goalkeeper proved decisive, saving the sole shot on target faced with a perfect 100 per cent save rate. Jamaica's 4–2–3–1 setup generated 53 per cent possession but managed just one shot on target from three faced, with their goalkeeper converting two saves into a 66.67 per cent success rate. The narrow margin reflects the Inter-Confederation playoff's intensity, where DR Congo's superior shot volume and defensive solidity proved decisive in a tight contest. DR Congo's win maintains their World Cup qualification momentum against CONCACAF opposition.
