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

Portugal and DR Congo drew 1-1 in their 2026 World Cup opener in Houston. Cristiano Ronaldo, 41, making his sixth World Cup appearance, managed only two scuffed efforts in 90 minutes. Joao Neves headed Portugal into an early lead, but Yohan Wissa equalised before half-time with a header. The second half was end-to-end but neither side could secure a win.
