Inter Miami held by Palmeiras, set to face PSG in round of 16

Coach Javier Mascherano faces a significant challenge — his Inter Miami team will meet Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup after drawing with Palmeiras.

The Herons failed to maintain their two-goal advantage at Hard Rock Stadium — the match ended in a 2-2 draw after Tadeo Allende and Luis Suarez had put Miami ahead.

• Allende opened the scoring in the 16th minute
• Suarez doubled the lead in the 65th minute
• Paulinho reduced the deficit in the 80th minute
• Mauricio equalized seven minutes later

This draw ensures Inter Miami advances to the knockout phase as Group A runners-up — falling behind Palmeiras on goal difference despite both teams collecting five points.
