Houston, USA — In a Group K encounter at NRG Stadium, Portugal and DR Congo were locked in a 1-1 draw, marking a stunning upset for the African side. Portugal’s Joao Neves scored the opening goal in the sixth minute, but DR Congo’s Yoane Wissa equalized in the 45+5th minute, securing their first World Cup goal and a morale-boosting point. Despite Portugal’s possession advantage, they failed to capitalize on numerous opportunities, with Cristiano Ronaldo’s performance drawing criticism.
The draw is a significant achievement for DR Congo, who last appeared in the World Cup in 1974.
