Al Ahly (Egypt) draws with Inter Miami in Group A (0-0)
Al Ahly of Egypt, the first African representative at the 2025 Club World Cup, has drew in its first outing in this global competition, by 0-0 with Inter Miami of the United States of America on Sunday night at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on the first day of Group A of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) Club World Cup. In this opening match of the competition, which has been expanded to 32 clubs, unlike previous editions, despite playing at the home ground of Inter Miami, their opponents, Cairo-based Al Ahly has missed a good opportunity to find the back of the net and take the lead. Indeed, the first of four African ambassadors to take to the field has failed to convert the penalty that has been awarded to him. And for good reason, Mahmoud Hassan, known as Trezeguet (41st), has missed his attempt after a foul on Ahmed El Sayed, which would have been the expression of a moment of Egyptian domination. Supported by its home crowd, Inter Miami has dominated the game, particularly its playmaker, Argentine Lionel, who, like some of his teammates, was denied more than once by the Egyptian goalkeeper El-Shenawy. Egypt’s Al Ahly and Brazil’s Palmeiras have been scheduled on Thursday in Group D of the 2025 Club World Cup, according to the website of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), consulted on Sunday by CPA.
