DR Congo created a historic moment at the 2026 FIFA World Cup as Yoane Wissa scored the nation's first-ever goal in the tournament during their Group K clash against Portugal.
Portugal took the lead through João Neves, who converted from close range after meeting Pedro Neto's dangerous delivery from the left flank.
However, DR Congo responded before halftime through their star forward Wissa. The striker rose highest to connect with a cross from the right wing and headed home a memorable equaliser, etching his name into the country's football history.
The goal marked DR Congo's first-ever strike at a FIFA World Cup. The two sides went into the break level at 1-1 after an entertaining first half.
