Cristiano Ronaldo and his Portugal team-mates could only manage a 1-1 draw with Congo on Wednesday in their opening World Cup match. Congo, which was playing at the World Cup for the first time in 52 years, became the second African nation to make a strong start in the tournament against European competition following Cape Verde's 0-0 draw with Spain on Monday.
