Held in check (0-0) by Al-Ahly on the first day of the Club World Cup, Inter Miami challenged Porto, this Thursday evening, with the firm intention to pocket its first victory in the competition. Unfortunately for the band at Lionel Messi, the Portuguese made the difference from the start of the meeting after a fault of Allen on Joao Mario in his own surface. Without trembling, Samu Aghehowa then gave the advantage to his family by perfectly transforming the penalty (0-1, 8th). Shy in their businesses throughout the first period, Martin Anselmi's men, however, managed to contain the Florida offensives to fire at the break.
Upon returning from the locker room, Inter Miami was finally going to react. On a center behind Weigandt, Segovia arose and sent the leather to the opposite skylight (1-1, 47th). Carried by this equalization, the Floridians even took advantage in the process thanks to the inevitable Lionel Messi, author of a superb direct free kick (2-1, 54th). In the last quarter of an hour, Ustari remained vigilant on the strike of Gomes (75th) and thus allowed Inter Miami to afford a first victory in the competition. With this success, the Floridians return to Palmeiras at the head of group A.
