DR Congo dominated South Sudan 4–1 in a World Cup qualifier in Juba, with the visitors' superior finishing proving decisive despite modest underlying metrics. South Sudan, set up defensively in a 5–3–2 formation, managed just 0.33 xG and created minimal clear-cut chances, while DR Congo's 4–3–3 setup generated 0.81 xG and converted opportunities ruthlessly to secure a commanding victory. The Congolese goalkeeper faced limited high-quality attempts, conceding 1.0 post-shot xG while recording an expected goals-prevented figure of zero, indicating the goals conceded aligned with shot quality. The scoreline reflects DR Congo's clinical edge in a Group B encounter where the away side's attacking efficiency overwhelmed a compact but ultimately outmatched South Sudanese defence. DR Congo moves clear atop the qualifying group with a dominant away result.
