Yoane Wissa headed home at 45+5 in Houston to equalize against Portugal, making it 1-1 at halftime. The stoppage-time header delivered DR Congo’s first-ever World Cup goal and their first point in their first tournament appearance since 1974. Cristiano Ronaldo, appearing in a record sixth World Cup, started for Portugal but did not score as DR Congo held the heavy favorites. The draw complicates Group K and marks DR Congo as a competitive dark horse to watch through the group stage.
