Portugal Held by DR Congo in World Cup Upset
Portugal and the Democratic Republic of Congo drew 1-1 in Group 11 of the 2026 World Cup. João Neves put Portugal ahead first, but Yoane Wissa equalized with Congo’s first-ever goal in World Cup history.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal were left disappointed after failing to find a second goal. After the early strike, Portugal could not break through the African side’s defense, which produced a surprise result.
