Group A of the Club World Cup ended with two extremely interesting draws. One could even say that it came as a surprise after the European representative Porto was eliminated with two points, the same as the last Al Ahly.
The teams made a spectacular 4:4 between themselves and are bidding to stay with the participation in the most interesting match in the tournament. The Europeans did not have a lead at any point, and the veteran Pepe even had to equalize in 89'.
Abu Ali opened the scoring after a quarter of an hour of play, and Mora equalized in 23'. The Palestinian striker again brought his team ahead from a penalty in the added time of the first half. William Gomes equalized 5 minutes after the restart, but 60 seconds later Abu Ali completed his hat-trick.
Samu made it 3:3 in 53', and 10 minutes later Ben Romdan brought Al Ahly ahead for the fourth time in the match. In the end, reserve Pepe made it 4:4 in 89'.
Inter Miami can only regret the missed victory, after leading by two goals until the final 10 minutes. Allende opened the scoring in 16' after an assist from Suarez, and in 65' the Uruguayan himself was accurate.
Reserves Paulinho and Mauricio were accurate in 80' and 87' for the final 4:4.
Two of the round of 16 are already clear: Palmeiras - Botafogo and PSG - Inter Miami. |BGNES
