Palmeiras comes back to tie Inter Miami 2-2, sending both teams to Club World Cup round of 16
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Palmeiras came from behind to play Inter Miami to a 2-2 draw in front of an electric crowd at Hard Rock Stadium, and both clubs advanced to the Club World Cup round of 16 on Monday night. A tie was enough to send both teams to the knockout round after they entered Monday's match tied atop the Group A standings with four points apiece. For a while, it looked like Inter Miami would advance as winners of the group after taking a 2-0 lead deep into regulation on goals by Tadeo Allende in the 16th and veteran Luis Suarez in the 65th. The historic Brazilian club Palmeiras clawed back, with a goal from Paulinho in the 80th and then the equalizer from Mauricio a couple minutes before the end of regulation. Messi, who turns 39 on Tuesday, had numerous chances but did not score Monday despite the crowd chanting his name throughout the match. Key moment Messi was seen shaking his head just after Mauricio hammered the tying goal past goalkeeper Oscar Ustari in the 87th minute, as Miami's lead had slipped away in a matter of minutes. Takeaways Palmeiras finished as winners of Group A and will face fellow Brazilian squad Botafogo in the round of 16, while Inter Miami will face Group B winner and Messi's former club Paris Saint-Germain. ___ AP soccer:

📹 Suárez shines, but Palmeiras snatch late draw to top the group
At Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Palmeiras drew 2-2 with Inter Miami this Monday (23rd), in the third and final round of the first phase of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Overall, the Verdão team failed to organize their marking, lacked intensity, and were completely inefficient and uncreative in the offensive sector. Advertisement Meanwhile, it was Luis Suárez's night. The veteran 38-year-old Uruguayan striker was responsible for an assist and a goal in the match. With the tireless support of their fans, Verdão managed to snatch a draw in the final minutes. ⚽ The Match The first opportunity belonged to Palmeiras. After a corner kick, Gustavo Gómez rose high and headed the ball, but it was an easy save for the goalkeeper. However, at 15 minutes, Redondo cleared the danger with a big kick forward, Suárez held up the play with his chest and provided the assist for Allende, who sped forward, unmarked, to open the scoring for Inter Miami. The duo combined again at the start of the second half, with a pass from Luisito to Allende after a throw-in, but the striker shot across goal and missed wide. With no ability to react, Palmeiras – giving all the space in the world for Inter Miami's players to exchange passes in midfield – saw Luis Suárez score a stunning goal. Advertisement 'El Pistolero' got past THREE defenders and fired high to extend the lead for the South Florida team. At the end of the match, after some 'keepy-uppy' at the edge of the box, Allan provided an assist between the defenders to Paulinho, who finished almost falling down to reduce Verdão's deficit. And, with the 'Allianz strength,' after a cross from the left, the defender cleared very poorly with a header, and Mauricio pounced on the rebound, unleashing a first-time rocket to level the score. 🔥 Firepower Even with all his physical problems, especially with his knee, Luis Suárez still has his striker's instinct. Advertisement In 2025 alone, he has scored nine goals in 23 matches. In his last eight games, he's netted five times! In Club World Cups alone, 'El Pistolero' has scored six goals (five of them in 2015 for Barcelona), equaling Messi and just one goal behind Pelé and Cristiano Ronaldo! 🚦 What's Next With this result, Palmeiras and Inter Miami both finished with five points, but Verdão advanced in first place due to a better goal difference (2 x 1). In the round of 16, Palmeiras will face the in-form Botafogo in Philadelphia on Saturday (28th), while the Americans will take on 'favorites' PSG in Atlanta on Sunday (29th).
