Cristiano Ronaldo Held Scoreless Again as Portugal Are Frustrated by DR Congo in 1-1 Draw

ESPN · 5d ago

João Neves' early header looked to have Portugal on course for a routine win in Houston, but Newcastle forward Yoane Wissa leveled for Democratic Republic of Congo just before halftime to earn a famous point in the country's first World Cup appearance since playing as Zaire in 1974. Cristiano Ronaldo missed two clear chances and extended his scoreless run in major tournaments to a tenth straight match, leaving manager Roberto Martínez facing early questions about his misfiring captain. The result leaves Group K wide open heading into matchday two.
