The FIFA Club World Cup opened with a tense, high-stakes clash between African giants Al Ahly and MLS stars Inter Miami, ending in a goalless draw that was anything but dull. Under the humid skies of Miami Gardens, both sides battled fiercely in front of a buzzing crowd at Hard Rock Stadium.
Al Ahly started stronger, pressing early and nearly taking the lead in the 42nd minute when they were awarded a penalty. However, Inter Miami goalkeeper Óscar Ustari came up big, diving low to deny Mahmoud Trezeguet and keeping the score level. The Egyptian champions continued to threaten, hitting the post and having a goal disallowed for offside, but couldn’t find the breakthrough.
In the second half, Inter Miami grew into the game. Lionel Messi orchestrated the attack with signature class, curling a free-kick just wide and testing Mohamed El Shenawy from range. Luis Suárez also had a close chance, but Al Ahly’s back line remained solid. Inter Miami pushed hard late on with fresh legs from the bench, but Ustari remained the standout figure, making eight saves to preserve the clean sheet.
Despite the lack of goals, the match was rich in drama and intensity. Both goalkeepers shined, both teams had moments of dominance, and fans got a first taste of global competition with elite talent on display. While neither side claimed all three points, the result left both with something to build on as the tournament continues.
