Inter Miami achieved the feat and against all odds beat Porto 2-1 in their second match of the Club World Cup, getting their first victory and reaching 4 points, sharing the top of Group A with Palmeiras.

Despite not being the favorites at the start, Javier Mascherano’s team were intelligent on the field and managed to overcome an early goal from Samu Aghehowa, who converted a penalty in the 8th minute.

US goalkeeper Oscar Ustari touched Samu’s shot to his right, but the impact was so powerful that he couldn’t stop it and it ended up nestling in the net.

However, Inter Miami’s spirits did not wane and they almost found the equalizer 10 minutes later when Luis Suarez made a great move that allowed him to appear one-on-one against the goalkeeper; However, goalkeeper Claudio Ramos quickly blocked the impact of the "Pistolero" with his body.

In the 34th minute, Ramos was once again a factor in the match when he stopped a venomous shot from Lionel Messi with his leg.

The night was falling for Porto, who fell back trying to withstand the attacks of Las Garzas, who once again tested the goalkeeper before halftime with the Messi-Suárez duo. The Argentine sent in a cross from three-quarters of the field that the Uruguayan managed to connect with on the edge of the six-yard box, but he was a little hasty and couldn't use the necessary force and precision.

The luck and accuracy that Inter Miami lacked in the first half arrived in the second, because in just 7 minutes they managed to beat Porto with two goals. The first came as soon as the game restarted, after a show of quality from Busquets, turning and launching an action that ended with a cross to the right by Weigandt and a powerful shot by Telasco Segovia punishing the Portuguese defensive passivity.

Without giving Porto time to react,Inter Miami continued their hostilities, and in an offensive effort, Messi was brought down on the edge of the box and made the most of the opportunity. He took the free kick and struck the ball with a silky glove with his left foot into the top corner. The madness broke out in a packed stadium, most of whom were wearing their shirts. It was Porto's turn to offer, but they lacked the qualities. They even suffered when Inter Miami, well-retained and interpreting the game well, looked for them on the counterattack. The Portuguese attempts were desperate, with no space to run. The only time William Gomes did so, he came up against the quick exit of Ustari.

And so the match ended, with Samu's attempts failing to find the target, two chances to make Picault's injury worse, and a chipped ball from Messi that would have been the icing on the cake for Inter Miami's first win, which is close to reaching the round of 16 and leaving Porto with doubts.

Inter Miami's next match will be against Palmeiras, and a draw will be enough to advance to the next round, even a defeat with a cross-results, while Porto no longer depends on itself and only needs to win in the closing stages of the group stage against Al Ahly.
