The Palace right-back struck as Colombia beat DR Congo 1-0, with the club’s own tracker confirming that Munoz found the breakthrough for the second game in a row, [according to Crystal Palace’s official update](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/first-team/world-cup-2026-crystal-palace-guide-player-tracker/). Jefferson Lerma also started, making it a strong night for the Eagles’ Colombian contingent.

## Munoz Is Turning Palace Form Into Tournament Impact

For Palace, this is exactly the kind of summer signal that matters. Munoz has already become a high-energy presence at Selhurst Park, but producing decisive moments on the World Cup stage underlines how valuable his profile has become.

His latest goal was not just a personal milestone. It moved Colombia through, sharpened attention on his attacking threat from right-back and gave Palace supporters another reason to follow the tournament beyond the usual neutral interest.

There is also a squad-status point here. Players who shape knockout qualification come back with authority, confidence and a wider reputation. Palace will want Munoz fresh for pre-season, but his World Cup form is a reminder that they have a player operating in a major international rhythm.

Colombia now move on with momentum, and Munoz has made sure Palace are firmly attached to that story.
