2026 World Cup: Ronaldo fails to shine as DR Congo hold Portugal

Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, failed to make an impact as they played out a 1-1 draw with DR Congo in their 2026 World Cup opener on Wednesday.
All eyes were on Ronaldo, who was making his sixth appearance at the tournament.
But the 41-year-old only had two scuffed efforts in the 90 minutes he played in Houston.
Portugal took an early lead after Joao Neves rose highest to head home in the first half.
The Leopards ensured they went into the break level, thanks to Yohan Wissa, who also headed past Diogo Costa.
Although the second half was an end-to-end affair, neither team was able to take maximum points from the encounter.
