Inter Miami and Al Ahly Share Points in Club World Cup Opener

In the FIFA Club World Cup opener at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium, Inter Miami shared points with Al Ahly in a 0-0 draw before 60,927 spectators.

Goalkeeper Oscar Ustari emerged as the star performer — denying Trézéguet’s penalty in the first half and recording eight crucial saves overall. Ustari, who became the first-choice keeper five months ago, proved his worth after replacing the injured Drake Callender.

Lionel Messi showed more vigor in the second half — nearly scoring from a free kick and creating chances for Fafà Picault, while also hitting the crossbar in injury time.

Al Ahly dominated the first half proceedings — Emam Ashour had a clear opportunity in the eighth minute and Wessam Abou Ali’s goal was disallowed for offside.

The stadium atmosphere featured thousands of supporters from both sides — Al Ahly fans in red matched the numbers of Inter Miami’s pink-clad supporters. The match also showcased referee camera innovation, providing unique angles during the penalty decision.
