Portugal/DR Congo, João Neves named man of the match! | OneFootball

Portugal faced DR Congo this Wednesday (1-1, video highlights here) in their first Group Stage match of the 2026 World Cup. João Neves, the 21-year-old Portuguese midfielder, was named Man of the Match.

For both club and country, João Neves is establishing himself as a key pillar of his team. It was a successful first World Cup match for the Parisian, even if it did not end in victory. A better result was naturally expected from the Portuguese. Victory will therefore be essential in the next match if they are to truly get into the competition and build positive momentum.
