Inter Miami and Palmerras played 2–2 draw on Tuesday and both teams qualified for the Round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. Palmeras snatched a great birthday gift for Lionel Messi. Inter Miami maintained a lead of 79 minutes in the final match of Group A, before the Brazilian team scored two consecutive goals in the group. Herons gained an edge after Luis Suarez pushed a long ball forward in midfield. The young Argentine player overtook WarTarton, dodging the defenders of Palmeras.
Suarez turned the time backwards in the second half, dodging several defenders and doubled the lead of Inter Miami. But there were ten minutes left for the match to end, the substitute Polyinho and Alan entered the penalty area. Polyinho scored a goal in front of the fans of Palmeras, which led to an exciting turn in the final stages. With the end of the time, Palmeras bowled the ball in the box, which was not properly cleared and fell to the substitute Maurisio, who scored from the edge of the box, causing the fans who were traveling to the shore.
This was a great match for us, it is difficult to play against one of the best teams in South America. Perhaps in the end the match was in our hands, so it seemed strange, but before the start of the tournament, if someone tells me that we are going to perform such a demonstration against such teams, I would have signed it.
