Whenever Congo's national team scores a goal like it did against Portugal in Houston, the players gather and dance in unison, a tradition it has used for a decade.
Yoanne Wissa's dramatic equalizer against Portugal at the FIFA World Cup 2026 marked DR Congo's first-ever goal in the tournament, ending a 52-year drought. Five years prior, Wissa faced a life-threatening acid attack.
Portugal were held to a 1-1 draw by DR Congo. Joao Neves gave them an early lead in the 6th minute, but Yoane Wissa equalised deep into first-half stoppage time with a header. Cristiano Ronaldo had a quiet game as Portugal failed to find a winner despite late attacking.
