Another minnow bites a shark spoiler

Portugal 1- DR Congo 1
Ronaldo was a non-factor

I am loving the performances of the upstarts so far.

He has a truly uncanny gift of being in the right place at the right time. I’ve followed him since he was a Brentford Bee.

But they let Congo hang around and tehy scored the equalizer at the end of the first half.

Sometimes it seems that scoring too early makes the supposed stronger team complacent. See Switzerland who hoarked up the points in the 90+ minute.
