The Portuguese national team did not score points in their first match at the 2026 World Cup. The team led by Robert Martinez drew 1-1 with DR Congo, which thus scored the first point in the history of its appearances at the World Cup. Much of the pre-match attention focused on Cristiano Ronaldo. The 41-year-old striker was included in the starting lineup, which meant he started his sixth World Cup. For Ronaldo, it was a moment to get closer to Lionel Messi, who scored three goals for Argentina on the night from Tuesday to Wednesday. Portugal started the match well and took the lead in the 6th minute after a goal by João Neves, who converted Pedro Neto's cross into a goal. The Portuguese dominated the first half, having 81% of the ball at half-time. However, at the very end of the first half, DR Congo managed to score their first goal in World Cup history. In the 45th minute, Arhtur Masuaku crossed the ball into the penalty area, and Yoane Wissa beat the goalkeeper with a shot from close range. In the second half, DR Congo improved their play and created several scoring opportunities. In turn, the Portuguese had big problems with their opponents' defense. Ronaldo had the best opportunity to score a goal, but in the 89th minute he failed to put the ball in the net after a pass by Gonçal Ramos. Ultimately, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
