You might get money or compo, you may not.
“bought a first class ticket” really doesn’t tell us much; reading the detailed fare rules before you buy does.
Some cheaper “first class” fares disclose they’re actually an “instant upgrade” type fare. The rules on those often stipulate youll fly in coach in case of OSO or missed connections unless you choose to wait for the next available seat in the same fare class (can be a day or days), at your own expense.
Whether you’ll get any money, voucher or compensation may well depend on your original fare class.
