Club World Cup final pitch blasted for being 'dry' and 'slow' in fresh blow for the tournament
The pitch that the Club World Cup final will be played on has been criticised following a goalless stalemate between Porto and Palmeiras in New Jersey. The MetLife Stadium is the chosen venue for next month's final as well as the World Cup final next year, and it had its first taste of Club World Cup action on Sunday night. However, Brazilian wonderkid Estevao - who will join Chelsea from Palmeiras ahead of next season - was left unimpressed by the condition of the pitch. 'I think the pitch should have been watered a little more as the ball was a little slow which interferes with the pace of the game,' he explained. 'It was both for ourselves and for Porto. As the game went on, it rained which made it roll a bit faster.' Palmeiras boss Abel Ferreira added: 'In the beginning, the pitch was dry. I don't know who is the patron saint for rain but after it rained it then enabled us to play our game.' Meanwhile, Porto coach Martin Anselmi insisted the state of the pitch affected the quality of the match. 'I do feel like the pitch caused us to be a bit imprecise. This was particularly when we wanted to accelerate the game. 'There were some mistakes that happened (as a result) but the grass is the same for both teams. We had to adapt.' The stadium is usually shared by the NFL's New York Giants and New York Jets, with the two teams playing on synthetic turf. However, FIFA rules dictate that this year's Club World Cup and the 2026 World Cup must be played on natural grass. It appears there is still work to be done to get the conditions up to scratch for some huge matches ahead in the coming weeks and next year. Concern over the pitch is a fresh blow for FIFA after a difficult start to their newly-expanded tournament. Two of the opening five matches have failed to see a goal, while there are also reservations that there could be a number of uncompetitive games in the group stages after Bayern Munich thrashed amateur side Auckland City 10-0 on Sunday. PSG then beat Atletico Madrid 4-0 in what was expected to be one of the closer matches in the group stages A clash between European champions PSG and Atletico Madrid was expected to be more competitive on Sunday evening, but the Ligue 1 giants ran out 4-0 winners in the searing heat in California. Ticket sales have also caused debate, with some matches being nowhere near sold out, leading to FIFA lowering prices in the days before the tournament. Sunday's match at the MetLife Stadium had a respectable crowd of 46,275, largely made up of Palmeiras fans after they took over Times Square earlier in the day. But there were still some empty seats, with the stadium having a maximum capacity of 82,500.

Palmeiras and Porto play out goalless draw in Club World Cup opener
Palmeiras' Jose Manuel Lopez collides with Porto's Ze Pedro (left) during the match at the MetLife stadium in New Jersey. (AP pic) NEW JERSEY : Palmeiras and Porto played out a 0-0 draw in their Group A opener of the Club World Cup at the MetLife stadium on Sunday, with Porto's stand-in goalkeeper Claudio Ramos delivering a stellar performance to frustrate the Brazilian side. Ramos, deputising for injured captain Diego Costa, produced a string of saves to deny Palmeiras, who dominated the contest but were unable to find a breakthrough. The substitute keeper's heroics ensured Porto left with a valuable point as all four teams in Group A remain level after Lionel Messi's Inter Miami and Egypt's Al Ahly also drew 0-0 on Saturday. Palmeiras nearly grabbed a winner in the dying moments when Murilo's header struck the post, adding to their growing frustration. Speaking to DAZN after the match, Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira praised his side's efforts but rued missed opportunities. 'I think it was a well-balanced game where we had the best chances, but football is incredible. Porto's best player was their substitute goalkeeper, who made four or five incredible saves to frustrate us,' he said. Ramos' standout moment came in first-half stoppage time when he made three successive saves. Estevao and Mauricio were denied from close range before Richard Rios' follow-up shot was cleared off the line by a defender. The 32-year-old keeper stepped up admirably after Costa was sidelined with a leg muscle injury sustained in training last week. Palmeiras, led by their young attacking duo of Vitor Roque and Estevao, soon to be joining Premier League's Chelsea, were the more threatening side throughout the match, excelling in quick transitions and displaying incisive build-up play. However, Porto's defence held firm, with Ramos and his backline soaking up pressure. Porto, meanwhile, looked to exploit high balls to towering Spanish striker Samu Aghehowa and nearly benefited from a Palmeiras error in the 20th minute. Felipe Anderson tried to challenge Martim Fernandes in a high ball lifted over Palmeiras´ box but he sliced his header and almost scored an own goal, denied with a brilliant one-handed save by keeper Weverton to avert disaster. With all teams level on one point, Group A remains wide open as Palmeiras prepare to face Al Ahly and Porto take on Inter Miami in the next round of fixtures on Thursday.

Club World Cup: MetLife Stadium pitch criticised after hosting first game
The head coaches of both FC Porto and Palmeiras, as well as the Brazilian wonderkid Estevao, criticised the turf at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday night following the draw between the two teams in the Club World Cup. MetLife Stadium will host eight Club World Cup matches this summer, including both semi-finals and the final, before hosting the men's World Cup final next summer in a tournament which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. Advertisement Playing surfaces were a cause for complaint at last summer's Copa America in the U.S. and the Argentine head coach Lionel Scaloni described the field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta as not being up to standard while goalkeeper Emi Martinez said it was a 'disaster' and 'like a trampoline.' Brown patches were also visible on the sides of the pitch at MetLife during last summer's tournament, which was organised by CONMEBOL rather than FIFA. In a news conference following the 0-0 draw between Brazilian team Palmeiras and the Portuguese team FC Porto, the 18-year-old man of the match Estevao raised the pitch as a cause of concern. Estevao, who has already agreed to join Premier League team Chelsea after this tournament, said: 'I think the pitch should have been watered a little more as the ball was a little slow which interferes with the pace of the game. It was both for ourselves and for Porto. As the game went on, it rained which made it roll a bit faster.' Over the past year, FIFA has studied which grass type would be best for MetLife, before deciding upon a 'warm-season grass' it believed would endure the local conditions. The Athletic has previously reported that grass was grown at Tuckahoe Turf Farms, which is also responsible for the grass being grown for the men's World Cup in 2026. The stadium, shared by the NFL's New York Giants and New York Jets, usually has a synthetic turf but the FIFA competitions this year and next summer require natural grass. This week has been inconsistent in terms of weather, with boiling temperatures midweek before dropping closer to 60 degrees Fahrenheit over the weekend. Abel Ferreira, the Palmeiras coach, said: 'In the beginning, the pitch was dry. I don't know who is the patron saint for rain but after it rained it then enabled us to play our game.' Advertisement The Porto player Ze Pedro also said the pitch 'could be better' while the Porto coach Martin Anselmi added: 'I do feel like the pitch caused us to be a bit imprecise. This was particularly when we wanted to accelerate the game. There were some mistakes that happened (as a result) but the grass is the same for both teams. We had to adapt.' Meanwhile, the Palmeiras coach also suggested that FIFA should consolidate fans within the lower rings of the stadium when attendances fall considerably below a sell-out during this tournament. This match had a creditable attendance of 46,275, largely made up of passionate Palmeiras fans and while the lower rings appeared close to full, supporters were scattered across three tiers which does not make for the best atmosphere. Some had flown in but the match also benefited from the Brazilian diaspora within the U.S. Ferreira said: 'The issue is the stadium is huge. Forty-six thousand is a big number but maybe they could have closed the third ring and placed everyone in the first and second (to bring it closer).. But with the amount of Palmeiras fans, it was like we were playing at home and this was a strength for Palmeiras. The stadium is too big but 46,000 is very good when people from Brazil and Portugal had to come and fly in and it's not so easy to do that.' He declined to comment as to whether FIFA should look to reduce ticket prices further in order to make the game more accessible to a broader audience. FIFA did provide QR codes to fans attending the game on boards outside the stadium which offered 20 per cent discount on other group stage games being played at MetLife Stadium. Thursday's fixture for Palmeiras against Al-Ahly at MetLife has now dropped down to $45 on Ticketmaster for standard admission while Tuesday's noon kick off between Borussia Dortmund and Fluminense is now down to $33 at the same venue.
