DR Congo, Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo, Yoane Wissa, Joao Neves
18 June 2026
DR Congo earned their first World Cup point with a 1-1 draw against Portugal in Houston, after Yoane Wissa cancelled out Joao Neves’ early header. Cristiano Ronaldo played the full match but failed to score again.
Portugal dominated possession but lacked incision, while DR Congo defended bravely and threatened on counters. Ronaldo’s 10-game major tournament scoring drought drew scrutiny, with Roberto Martinez defending his decision to keep the 41-year-old on.
