Porto, Al Ahly Draw 4-4, Exit FIFA Club World Cup

FC Porto and Al Ahly played an exhilarating 4-4 draw at MetLife Stadium in the FIFA Club World Cup group stage, with both teams ultimately eliminated from the tournament. Wessam Abou Ali starred for Al Ahly by scoring a remarkable hat-trick, while Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane also contributed a stunning goal. Porto’s young talents Rodrigo Mora, William Gomes, and Samu Aghehowa responded with crucial goals, and veteran Pepê scored a last-minute equalizer. Despite the high-scoring and thrilling nature of the match, defensive errors and frantic play characterized much of the game, reflecting Porto’s challenging season under coach Martín Anselmi. The draw, combined with a concurrent 2-2 result between Palmeiras and Inter Miami, meant neither team advanced past the group stage. Both clubs showed determination and attacking flair but fell short of progressing in the tournament.
