ATLANTA, June ⁠27 (Reuters) - Democratic Republic of Congo superfan Michel Kuka Mboladinga ⁠could not make it for his country’s dramatic World ‌Cup win over Uzbekistan on Saturday, but there was an impersonator happy to stand in.

Mboladinga has won worldwide notoriety for standing motionless in the stands, looking ​eerily like the statue in Kinshasa ⁠of the country's first Prime ⁠Minister, Patrice Lumumba, a revered figure in DR Congo after being ⁠killed ‌in 1961.
