DR Congo made history at the 2026 FIFA World Cup as Yoane Wissa scored the nation’s first-ever goal in the tournament during their Group K match against Portugal.
The match saw Portugal initially take the lead with a goal from João Neves, who found the net with a close-range effort following a dangerous cross from Pedro Neto on the left flank.
DR Congo, however, responded before halftime. Wissa demonstrated his aerial prowess, connecting with a cross from the right wing to head home a memorable equaliser, securing his place in the country’s football history.
This landmark goal marked a significant achievement for DR Congo, bringing the score to 1-1 at the break after an engaging first half.
