DR Congo Hold Portugal 1-1 in Historic World Cup Return
DR Congo secured their first ever World Cup point by drawing 1-1 with Portugal in Houston. Yoane Wissa levelled deep into first-half stoppage time after João Neves had put Portugal ahead in the sixth minute. Cristiano Ronaldo made history as the oldest outfield player to start a World Cup match at 41 years and 132 days. Despite his experience, he struggled to break down the Congolese defence. This marks DR Congo’s second World Cup appearance and their first since 1974, when they played as Zaire. Their performance against one of the tournament favourites signals a bright future for the African side.
