According to FIFA, Wednesday's match marked the Democratic Republic of Congo's first World Cup goal.
Many of the fans say they're from out of town and arrived as early as Tuesday to avoid traffic congestion. They also booked nearby hotels so they could walk or use ride-share services to get to the stadium.
The rain was a concern on Wednesday morning during a major downpour. Luckily, it cleared about an hour before kickoff.
Fans say, rain or shine, they were determined to be here.
"It's very important. We need to come and encourage our players, our team, our countries. We need to lift up our flag," Nenette Tshish, visiting from Dallas, said.
