Rome, 17 June (LaPresse) – Another surprise at the World Cup. Congo held Portugal to a 1-1 draw in their Group K World Cup match. In Houston, the Portuguese took the lead in the 6th minute, but the African side, making their second World Cup appearance, held firm against the Portuguese’s early onslaught and equalised just before half-time through Wissa. Ronaldo, who started the match, failed to make an impact, as did the rest of the team’s attacking line-up, meaning Portugal picked up just one point from their opening match.
