00:00After Messi's hat-trick last night, the expectation was for Ronaldo to go goal-hunting against unfancied DR Congo.
00:07But it wasn't Ronaldo who opened Portugal's account.
00:24Portugal dominated both in possession and passes but failed to convert that into another goal.
00:30It took numbers but they were able to stop them right through the six-yard person behind.
00:34But their passivity would come back to hone them.
00:37Vittinia defending. In goes the cross.
00:41Two and eight. He's a ticket.
00:42And it's in! DR Congo have scored in the World Cup for the very first time. History for Johan Wesson.
00:53Despite an impeccable pass inefficiency in the high 90s, Portugal still only had one shot on goal.
01:00That was his first chance today.
01:02Ronaldo failed to impress but was kept on as Portugal failed to unlock the Leopards.
01:08In the end, Portugal's frustration was contrasted by Congolese delight following their first World Cup goal and point.
01:15And the match day kicked off from San Francisco as Austria took on debutant Jordan in Group J.
01:22And the Europeans opened their account with a blinder.
01:24They find their way through here. Austria.
01:28Oh! That is a quarter!
01:31But the Jordanians showed they could score quality goals as well.
01:47But they didn't inspire confidence at the back as Austria went ahead again.
01:56As Yazan Al Arab was credited with the own goal.
02:02And it would go from bar to worse when the Europeans were handed a penalty,
02:07which Marko Arnautovic dispatched to secure Austria's first World Cup win since 1990.
