The Congolese lost all their three matches at the 1985 event in China and missed out on a place in the last eight by a whisker in Italy six years later. Despite holding their own for much of the game, the Africans were undone by two well-taken goals.

After a goalless first half against the Uruguyans at the Estadio Morelos in Morelia, Congo took the lead through Hardy Binguila after 53 minutes. The South Americans equalised 12 minutes later when Maximiliano Moreira beat goalkeeper Chill Ngakosso from close range.
