Messi Struggles to Score as Inter Miami and Al Ahly Play 0-0 in Club World Cup
Inter Miami kicked off their 2025 FIFA Club World Cup campaign with a 0-0 draw against Egyptian champions Al Ahly at the Hard Rock Stadium, but Lionel Messi struggled to make the difference on a night dominated by defensive displays.
Al Ahly started brightly, pushing forward with confidence and creating several chances early on. However, Inter’s veteran goalkeeper Oscar Ustari was in top form, keeping his side in the game. His standout moment came when he saved a first-half penalty from Trezeguet, diving low to block the shot and recovering quickly to collect the tame follow-up.
Messi, who was largely quiet in the first half, began to show flashes of his brilliance after the break. He played a key role in Miami’s improved attacking rhythm, but Al Ahly’s keeper El Shenawy was equally up to the task. He denied Tadeo Allende from close range and later parried away Messi’s sharp drive from just outside the box. The Argentine also came close with a clever free-kick that curled around the wall but found the side netting.
Despite both teams showing intent, neither side could find the finishing touch. The result leaves everything to play for as Inter Miami prepare to face Porto in Atlanta on June 19, while Al Ahly take on Palmeiras in New Jersey on the same day.

Asisat Oshoala says she’s ready to help the Super Falcons reclaim their crown at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). The Bay FC striker is set for her fifth appearance at the tournament, which will take place in Morocco. The 30-year-old already has three WAFCON titles to her name.
At the last edition, also held in Morocco, Oshoala only featured briefly due to injury as South Africa took the title from Nigeria. But now, after over a year away from the squad, she’s back and eager to make an impact.
Speaking to NFF TV, Oshoala shared her excitement about being part of the team again. “Scoring goals is what I love,” she said. “It’s been a while since I played with the national team because of personal things going on in my life. But anytime I’m here, I give my all to help the team get maximum points in every game.”
The Super Falcons will kick off their WAFCON 2024 campaign against Tunisia on Sunday in Casablanca. The tournament begins on Saturday, July 5, with hosts Morocco facing Zambia in Rabat, and it will run until July 26.
Liverpool have announced they will retire the number 20 shirt in honour of their late forward Diogo Jota. The club confirmed the decision on Thursday, saying the gesture is a lasting tribute to Jota’s impact at Anfield, especially his role in Liverpool’s Premier League triumph last season.
Jota, who passed away at 28 in a tragic car accident in Spain alongside his brother Andre Silva, played a crucial part in the Reds’ 2024–2025 title win, which marked their 20th league crown. One of his most memorable moments came in April, when his signature shimmy and finish secured victory in the Merseyside derby, the final goal of his career.
