Scenario for Inter Miami to pass the FIFA Club World Cup group stage

The victory over Porto opens the door wide for Lionel Messi and his teammates to continue.

Table A situation.

After two rounds, Inter Miami is ranked 2nd in Group A with 4 points, equal to Palmeiras but behind due to an inferior goal difference. In the final round, these two clubs will directly face each other. Accordingly, Inter Miami and Palmeiras only need a draw to advance to the round of 16.

In the event that Inter Miami lose to Palmeiras, they will still advance if Ah Aly fail to beat Porto. At the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup™, head-to-head record is the second most important factor after points. Inter Miami previously drew 0-0 with Al Ahly.

Even if Porto also has 4 points, the Portuguese representative is still behind Inter Miami due to poor head-to-head record.

If Inter Miami loses to Palmeiras and Al Ahly wins big against Porto, Messi and his teammates are at risk of being eliminated.

Telasco Segovia's goal and Lionel Messi's superb free-kick gave Inter Miami their first-ever win at the FIFA Club World Cup, and also marked a milestone by becoming the first CONCACAF team to beat a European opponent.

Messi reached 50 goals for Inter Miami after only 61 appearances. This was also the 68th goal of the superstar born in 1987 from the free kick, only 2 goals less than the achievement of "King of Football" Pele and 9 goals less than the all-time record of Juninho.
