Summary
Cristiano Ronaldo cut in front of Bruno Fernandes to meet a late cross in Portugal's World Cup opener, then dragged the rushed shot wide in a 1-1 draw with DR Congo.
The missed chance stood out in a flat 90-minute display from the 41-year-old, who finished with 0 goals, 0 assists, 0 shots on target and 0 chances created.
Portugal still took 1 point and remains in a favorable group, but the opener sharpened concerns that Ronaldo's need to force himself into attacks could blunt the team on bigger stages.
