Another dramatic matchday lit up the new Club World Cup format, packed with goals, twists and standout moments. The day began with Palmeiras dispatching Al Ahly 2-0, both goals coming in the second half: an own goal from Ali in the 49th minute, followed by Lopez’s strike ten minutes later.
But it was the second match that stole the headlines. Inter Miami faced off against Porto, who took an early lead through Aghehowa's penalty in the 8th minute. The American side responded after the break with Segovia’s equaliser before Lionel Messi produced a moment of brilliance with a trademark free-kick to seal a 2-1 comeback victory.
Group B saw Atlético Madrid handle the Seattle Sounders with relative ease. Barrios opened the scoring, Witsel added a second, and despite a brief response from Rusnak, Barrios netted again to make it 3-1.
The biggest shock of the day came as Paris Saint-Germain fell 1-0 to Botafogo. Igor Jesus struck in the 36th minute, and PSG couldn’t find a way back. The French champions will now face a must-win clash against Inter Miami to stay in the tournament.
