Yoane Wissa has scored a shock first-half equaliser as the Democratic Republic of Congo frustrated Portugal at the start of Cristiano Ronaldo's sixth World Cup campaign.
The Newcastle United striker put aside the frustration of his injury-hit first season with the Premier League club as he headed home to secure a 1-1 draw under a closed roof in Houston on Wednesday (Thursday AEST).
Joao Neves had put Portugal, one of the pre-tournament favourites, ahead after just six minutes but they were unable to build on their strong start as DR Congo – making their first World Cup appearance in 52 years – fought back in the Group K opener.
