The opening day of the Club World Cup left emotions, goals, and more than one surprise that not everyone expected.
Here's the highlights of this first matchday of the revamped FIFA tournament.
Lionel Messi hit the post and failed to score in a debut where Ustari was the star and Al Ahly showed themselves to be as competitive as the American team.
A dull start to the World Cup.
With a thrashing of Auckland City, the Bundesliga champion put on a show, although it also raises the debate about whether it's fair to have two clubs of different scales compete in an international tournament.
For now, Musiala's return with three goals was great news.
Enrique Cerezo said before the match against PSG that they were in the USA to reach the final, but the French thrashing indicates a different reality.
Atlético didn't have the rhythm or quality to bother the European champion.
We had the most entertaining duel of the day. Both Porto and Palmeiras proposed an offensive game, but fell short in the definition, although goalkeeper Claudio Ramos was the hero with the save of the day.
Although everything pointed to Botafogo as a clear favorite, Seattle Sounders bothered the South American team throughout the second half, dramatically approaching a tie in the final minutes, although it wasn't enough to steal a point.
