Cristiano Ronaldo Fails to Score as DR Congo Hold Portugal to 1-1 Draw
Cristiano Ronaldo was unable to find the net as Portugal were held to a surprising 1-1 draw by Democratic Republic of the Congo in their FIFA World Cup 2026 Group K opener.
Portugal took the lead in the sixth minute through Joao Neves, who headed home from a Pedro Neto cross.
