England vs. Croatia Live World Cup 2026 Updates, Scores and Highlights

Should this one have been called?

England 1-0, we move.

After penalty retake due to Livakovic leaving his line, Harry doesn't miss again.

Big early chances for Three Lions...

Here. We. GO.

Handful of DR Congo fans didn't care how outnumbered they were by Portugal.

In their first World Cup match since 1974, DR Congo proved they have a very real chance of reaching the knockout phase and maybe pulling off an upset or two once they get there after this performance against a tournament favorite.

Yoane Wissa will forever be a national hero after scoring the first-ever World Cup goal to help the Congolese secure their first-ever World Cup point. But this was a much different encounter than Cape Verde's near-miraculous scoreless draw against Spain in Atlanta two days earlier.

Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal dominated possession and looked the more likely to score a winner in the final stages. But this was a composed, thoughtful and threatening effort from the Africans that suggested far more experience on the big stage than one previous tournament appearance playing as Zaire two generations ago.

If anyone looked rattled, it was Portugal late, particularly Tomas Araujo, who was fortunate to receive only a caution for his cynical and violent late challenge to deny Wissa a potential opportunity at a winner.

Yet Portugal manager Roberto Martínez probably learned some useful things about his squad if they are to join the lengthy list of sides who eventually make deep tournament runs despite underwhelming opening matches.

In particular, his decision to insert Francisco Conceição for Bernardo Silva achieved its aim of creating more of a threat on the flanks, and eventually resulted in half-chances that Ronaldo fired wide of the near post in the 68th and 74th minutes.

Congo remained dangerous on the counter, and Cedric Bakambu may go the rest of his life wondering what might have been had he possessed more composure when sending his 77th-minute one-timer a few feet wayward of the top corner.

Hasn't had many opportunities in this game.

Off the post from in tight...but foul called. Pressure is rising!

Looking good, fellas.

Yoane Wissa's towering header in first-half stoppage time gave DR Congo the first goal in their World Cup history and was no less than the Africans deserved after they gave as good as they got against one of the World Cup favorites.

João Neves's seventh-minute header of Pedro Neto's cross gave Portugal an early lead, but what looked to be an ideal start for the Seleção das Quinas may have actually been the opposite. 

Far from collapsing under the weight of the moment, DR Congo responded with some credible attacking of their own. Wissa fired wide on one of those in the 11th minute, and the Newcastle United man was in obvious agony three minutes later when Cedric Bakambu had his shot blocked rather than slipping an open Wissa into the penalty area.

But on a second consecutive corner in the added minutes, Congo took it short before Arthur Masuaku eventually sent in an inswinging cross from the corner of the area. Wissa rose unmarked at the back post and finished decisively past Diogo Costa from close range.

Unreal scenes in Houston as African nation scores first-ever goal at World Cup right before halftime whistle.

Not much else doing in Houston with Ronaldo barely in the game.

Neves rises up to open scoring vs. DR Congo

Last teams yet to play at the World Cup begin Thursday's action.

There is he, Mr. Ronaldo.

Here comes CR7 at 6th World Cup.

Ain't no thang!

Time to step up to the plate, CR7.
