00:00Cristiano Ronaldo's effort to win the World Cup started off with a disappointment when Portugal was held to a 1
00:07-1 tie by DR Congo in their first game of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
00:13Despite taking the lead within the first six minutes of the match by scoring a goal through Joao Neves, Ronaldo
00:20was going to be making history as this was going to be his sixth World Cup.
00:25It appeared as if Portugal was going to cruise to an easy win.
00:30However, DR Congo would not give up without a fight.
00:33They played well defensively and were rewarded with a goal from Yohan Wissa at the 45-minute mark to even
00:40up the score.
00:41This was DR Congo's first-ever goal in World Cup history.
00:46In the second half, Portugal pressed hard for a win and controlled the ball, but were unable to obtain a
00:52goal due to the strong defense played by DR Congo.
00:56At the final whistle, the score was 1-1.
00:59Portugal will look at this as a lost opportunity to earn the full three points, whereas DR Congo will look
01:06at it as a landmark moment in its history by earning the first World Cup point ever.
