The Club World Cup started with a goalless draw (0-0) between Inter Miami and Egyptian champions Al Ahly. The match took place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami in front of around 60,000 spectators. Inter Miami’s goalkeeper, Oscar Ustari, was the key player with several crucial saves, including a penalty save from Mahmoud Trezeguet. Lionel Messi, the star of Inter Miami, showed his class by creating several chances but failed to score. The match was tactically demanding, and ticket sales faced challenges due to high prices and fears within the Latino community of deportation. The second group match between Palmeiras and Porto is scheduled for tonight.
