The teams head into halftime level! DR Congo found an equalizer just before the break after Joao Neves had opened the scoring for Portugal.
The first half was largely dominated by the Selecao, but the Leopards efficiency kept the game alive.
On a corner kick, the Leopards forward was completely unmarked in the box and sent the ball into the back of the net with a perfect header!
The Democratic Republic of the Congo tied the game on this set piece, which the Portuguese defense completely botched.
With the score tied 1-1 at halftime, the Leopards are proving that they didn’t return to the World Cup after 52 years just to make up the numbers.
