Palmeiras ties Inter Miami 2-2, both teams advance to Club World Cup round of 16
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.
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.
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.

ES Tunis vs Chelsea prediction: Blues to seal place in Club World Cup round of 16
Liam Delap is still looking for his first goals for his new club since completing a £30m move (Getty) Chelsea vs ES Tunis betting tips Chelsea to win to nil - 4/5 William Hill Liam Delap to score or assist – 5/4 Bet365 Chelsea face Esperance Sportive de Tunis in their final group match of the Club World Cup on Tuesday night in Philadelphia (Wednesday, 3am BST), with the Blues needing a win to secure a place in the round of 16. Advertisement A shock 3-1 loss to Flamengo last time out means that the Brazilian side top Group D with six points, with Chelsea currently on three. And with Tunis having beaten LAFC 1-0 in their last game, both of these sides sit on three points ahead of the final match in what will be a winner-takes-all contest in Philadelphia. The disappointing performance against Flamengo will have worried Maresca but he will know his team have more than enough to beat the Tunisian champions, and football betting sites have priced the Blues as 3/10 favourites to win, compared to 10/1 for the African side. Chelsea vs ES Tunis betting tip: Blues to advance to last 16 Many Chelsea fans will have come into this tournament fairly excited to see how their side performed against the world's best, though that excitement will have been dampened with a poor performance against a Flamengo side that were dominant for much of their 3-1 win. Advertisement But while the Blues will have to be wary of a Tunis side who were able to beat LA, the gulf between these two sides is far more pronounced. Tunisian champions Tunis have won eight of their last 10 matches, scoring 21 and conceding four in the process, but though they lost 2-0 to Flamengo in their competition opener and will certainly not be used to the level offered by a £1bn Chelsea squad. And while Chelsea lost last week, that remains just their third defeat in the last 10, having scored 18 in that time. What's more, before the defeat to Flamengo the Blues had conceded just six goals in their previous 10 matches, with five clean sheets. The end of the season proved that when it all clicks, the Blues can compete with the best sides on the continent, so they should have more than enough on Thursday night. Advertisement With that in mind, we're backing Chelsea to win with a clean sheet, with odds of around 4/5 with various betting sites. Chelsea vs ES Tunis prediction 1: Chelsea to win to nil - 4/5 William Hill Chelsea vs ES Tunis prediction: Delap to score first goals for new club? Summer signing Liam Delap hasn't got off to an electrifying start since his £30m move was confirmed last month, but the England youngster caused problems for opposition defences on numerous occasions in his first two games, including grabbing an assist on his debut against LAFC. The 22-year-old, who scored 12 goals for Ipswich as they were relegated at the end of last season, is yet to score for his new club but with Nicolas Jackson suspended and qualification riding on this game, there'll be plenty of expectation on his shoulders on Thursday. Advertisement And we think Delap will rise to the occasion against a less stern defence, with a wager on the 22-year-old to get his score or assist offered at around 5/4 in the latest Club World Cup odds. Chelsea vs ES Tunis prediction 2: Liam Delap to score or assist – 5/4 Bet365 Responsible gambling Bettors should always practice responsible gambling.
