FIFA World Cup: While his archrival Lionel Messi started Argentina's defence with a fine performance, Cristiano Ronaldo failed to score as Portugal were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by a fighting Congo DR in a Group K match in the FIFA World Cup 2026 at the Houston Stadium in Houston on Wednesday.
Portugal took an early lead with Joao Neves scoring as early as the sixth minute. But Congo DR fought back to level the score in added time in the first half.
Though Porgutal dominated possession, they could not convert that into three points as they failed to create potent attacks -- they had only one shot on target in the entire match -- to build on their early goal. It was celebration time for Congo.
