Brilliant Lionel Messi free-kick leads Inter Miami past Porto at Club World Cup
Lionel Messi connected on a free kick in the 54th minute to propel Inter Miami to a 2-1 victory over FC Porto in a Group A match of the Fifa Club World Cup on Thursday afternoon. After Porto struck first on Samu Aghehowa's penalty kick in the eighth minute, Marcelo Weigandt assisted on Telasco Segovia's game-tying goal in the 47th. Miami found its second goal in the first 10 minutes of the second half against Porto goalkeeper Claudio Ramos as Messi scored on the 68th free-kick goal of his illustrious career. The free-kick was set up for Miami when Messi was taken down just outside the penalty area by Rodrigo Mora on a run down the middle of the field. The crowd at Mercedes-Benz Stadium was chanting 'Messi!' Messi! Messi!' before his left-footed blast cleared the Porto wall and ripped the net in the top right corner in the 54th minute. Each team netted their first goals of the tournament after Miami tied Al Ahly 0-0 on Saturday and Porto suffered the same result against Palmeiras on Sunday. After VAR review confirmation, it was determined that Miami's Noah Allen committed a tripping penalty in the box against Joao Mario, leading to Aghehowa's penalty goal that was deflected by goalkeeper Oscar Ustari and in for the game's first goal in the eighth minute. Aghehowa, 21, had 19 goals in 30 Primeira Liga matches for the Portuguese side this past season. Miami knotted the score at one less than 90 seconds into the second half, as Weigandt's cross into the center of the box was finished by Segovia, who fired in the equalizing goal past a sprawling Ramos. Miami then continued its great start to the second half, as Porto's Rodrigo Mora's foul led to Messi's successful free kick – perfectly placed in the top right corner. Inter Miami returns to South Florida on Monday, knowing a victory over Brazilian club Palmeiras at Hard Rock Stadium will lock up its spot in the Round of 16. In desperate need of a win, Porto closes out group play against Egypt's Al Ahly at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Jose Lopez scored in the 60th minute to lift Brazil's Palmeiras to a 2-0 victory over Egypt's Al Ahly in Club World Cup Group A play on Thursday afternoon in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Weverton made two saves to help Palmeiras maintain the clean sheet. Sign up to Soccer with Jonathan Wilson Jonathan Wilson brings expert analysis on the biggest stories from European soccer after newsletter promotion Palmeiras opened the scoring in the 49th minute following an own goal by Al Ahly's Wessam Abou Ali, who inadvertently headed home Anibal Moreno's free kick. Palmeiras doubled the advantage after Lopez sent a left-footed shot into the net following Mauricio's through ball. The match had a short delay in the 63rd minute 'because of severe weather in the area.' Both teams played to a scoreless draw in their first matches, with Palmeiras drawing even with Porto and Al Ahly doing the same with Inter Miami. Al Ahly's best chance to open the scoring in the first half came in the sixth minute, but Abou Ali's attempt from the center of the box sailed wide of the net. Yahya Attiat Allah's cross set up Abou Ali's attempt. Palmeiras' Estevao's left-footed shot from the center of the box sailed just wide to the right in the 18th minute. Palmeiras' Raphael Veiga initially received a red card for his sliding tackle to Zizo, but VAR ultimately downgraded it to a yellow upon review. Agustin Giay also received a yellow card in the 43rd minute. Al Ahly's Hamdi Fathy and Attiat Allah also were shown a yellow in the 42nd minute and in first-half stoppage time, respectively.

Lionel Messi scores as Inter Miami rout Red Bulls 4-1
Luis Suarez and Marcelo Weigandt each had one goal and one assist to help Inter Miami record a 4-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls on Saturday night at Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Lionel Messi added his first MLS goal since April 6 and Fafa Picault also found the back of the net for Inter Miami (6-1-3, 21 points). Mohammed Sofo had the lone tally for the Red Bulls (4-4-3, 15 points), who remain winless (0-3-2) on the road this season. New York had allowed just nine goals in 10 matches before Miami put on an offensive show. The Herons have scored seven goals in their past two MLS matches but lost the first one, 4-3 to FC Dallas last Sunday. Miami goalkeeper Oscar Ustari and New York counterpart Carlos Miguel Coronel each had two stops. The Herons held a 12-10 edge in shots and placed six on target to three for the Red Bulls. Miami scored the first three goals of the match and was never again threatened. Picault scored in the ninth minute to get things started. Weigandt sent a cross to the left and it glanced off the head of Suarez. Picault was there and placed a right-footed shot into the top left corner. Miami scored twice in nine minutes later in the half. In the 30th minute, Weigandt had his header stopped by Coronel but got the rebound and set a right-footed shot into the net. Suarez also went the rebound route to make it 3-0. His right-footed shot was blocked by New York's Kyle Duncan before he hurried forward and sent a left-footer into the net. The Red Bulls got on the board in the 43th minute as Sofo sent a high looping header from the left side that landed in the right-hand corner of the net. The foot of Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting appeared to touch the ball inside the post but the goal was awarded to Sofo. Any thought of a New York comeback was put to the rest in the 67th minute when Messi ripped a short-range left-footed shot into the net.
