Keepers shine as Messi denied in World Cup opener, watch 🎥 | OneFootball

No goals were scored in the opening match of the Club World Cup this Saturday (14).

Inter Miami and Al-Ahly played an exciting game at Hard Rock Stadium, but the goalkeepers shone to prevent a winner on the field.

The match in Miami was valid for Group A, which also includes Palmeiras and Porto.

The big star of the match, Lionel Messi, even drew screams of "goal" from confused fans with a free kick that hit the outside of the net.

He also almost worked his magic in the final moments of the game, forcing goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shenawy to make a great save to prevent a beautiful goal.

But the Egyptian team dominated most of the match, especially in the first half.

Al-Ahly even had a penalty in their favor, but Mahmoud Trezeguet missed the shot.

The match

Al-Ahly had great chances to leave the field with the win, especially in the first half.

The Egyptian team found freedom to attack on counterattacks.

But then the Argentine goalkeeper Oscar Ustari stepped up, making good saves in one-on-one situations.

His best moment came when he saved Trezeguet's penalty kick near the end of the first half.

Ustari was only beaten by Wessam Abou Ali, who found the net in the 29th minute of the first half. But the striker was offside and saw the goal disallowed.

Inter Miami improved after the break and was not under as much pressure in the second half.

But not even the presence of Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez was enough to get the home team on the scoreboard.

This time, it was El-Shenawy's turn to shine, stopping dangerous shots from Inter Miami, especially in the final minutes of the match.
