The hero Wissa: It was a very difficult match against a team that was stronger than us

DR Congo's match-winner Yoan Wissa reflected on the pride of scoring his country's first ever World Cup goal after their 1-1 draw with Portugal in Group K.

"Obviously I'm very proud today, because we worked incredibly hard. It was a very difficult match against a team that was stronger than us. But we showed courage and resilience. Scoring our first goal is a huge source of pride, because it reflects the character of this team. The most important thing now is to keep moving forward," said Wissa.
