Inter Miami vs Porto LIVE!
Action from Group A of the new-look Club World Cup continued tonight and the end result sees Inter Miami joint-top with Palmeiras after recording an historic win over Porto. Both teams come into this game on the back of goalless draws on matchday one, but the Herons are now on the brink of qualifying for the round of 16.
Despite making a strong start, Inter Miami found themselves a goal down against the run of play as VAR intervened and recommended an on pitch review after Noah Allen caught Joao Mario in the box. Whilst contact seemed minimal, a penalty was awarded and Samu Aghehowa was able to squeeze his effort past Oscar Ustari.
Telasco Segovia finished off a fine team move by rifling an effort into the top corner to equalise for Inter Miami before Messi took centre stage. Moments after warming up with a long range free-kick, the 37-year-old curled home a brilliant effort from much closer to goal to complete the turnaround.

At the other end, Samu races clear and shoots straight at Ustari.

Falcon with a superb goalline clearance to deny Mora giving Porto a two-goal lead.
Inter Miami 0-1 Porto
20:39 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne37 min: Fabio Vieira shoots over from a good position. The Arsenal loanee is better than that, really should be hitting the target at the very least.
Inter Miami 0-1 Porto
20:38 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne36 min: CLOSE!
Inter Miami come forward, Suarez with a dummy which allows the ball to run for Cremaschi whose effort is saved by Ramos.
Difficult angle for the 20-year-old and he couldn’t generate enough power on the shot.
Inter Miami 0-1 Porto
20:35 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne32 min: Inter Miami survive a couple of scary moments in quick succession. Firstly Samu is demanding a penalty after seemingly being pulled back in the area.

Inter Miami 0-1 Porto
20:15 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne14 min: I must say, Oscar Ustari - who saved a penalty against Al Ahly on matchday one - will be unhappy that he didn’t keep out Samu’s effort.

After a VAR review, Porto have a penalty. Noah Allen is penalised for a foul in the area.

20:07 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne5 min: VAR CHECK
Porto could have a penalty here!
Inter Miami 0-0 Porto
20:06 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne4 min: Half a chance for Suarez as Messi slides the ball through, but the Uruguayan just can’t get there and Ramos races off his line to claim the ball.
If that was 5-10 years ago, perhaps a different outcome?
Inter Miami 0-0 Porto
20:04 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne2 min: Inter Miami come forward, Messi picks out Suarez with a fine pass but the striker shoots straight at Ramos.
Offside flag went up, wouldn’t have counted anyway but what a pass it was from Messi.
KICK-OFF!
20:01 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneWe are underway in this Group A clash.
Here we go!
19:56 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneThe players, one by one, are emerging from the tunnel area and out onto the pitch.
Player handshakes are up next and then kick-off.
As it stands
19:50 , Tashan Deniran-AlleynePalmeiras have just beaten Al Ahly 2-0 to go top of Group A with four points from their opening two games.
Should there be a winner between Inter Miami and Porto by a three goal margin then the Brazilian side will drop to second.
A reminder that no team can qualify for the round of 16 tonight.

19:40 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneLess than 20 minutes to go until kick-off at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium!
Messi's record vs Porto
19:35 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneLionel Messi is coming up against a European team once again.
However, his record against Porto is quite modest in comparison to others.
That is largely due to the fact he's previously only ever faced the Portuguese outfit once in a competitive fixture.
It was the 2011 Super Cup final as Messi scored and created another in a 2-0 win for Barcelona.

Inter Miami vs Porto: Head to head history and results
18:00 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneThis will be the first-ever meeting between the two teams.
Latest score
17:55 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneThe half-time whistle has just gone in the other game in this group and it's goalless between Palmeiras and Al Ahly.
That said, English referee Anthony Taylor has been in the headlines - and not the the right reasons.
The Premier League official sent-off Raphael Veiga for a studs-up challenge but later changed his decision to a yellow card following a VAR review.
Score prediction
17:50 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneIt feels like a must-win game for Porto already and it's hard to imagine they'll be as poor as they were against Palmeiras.
Inter Miami were impressive in their draw with Al Ahly but that was only after Oscar Ustari had performed mircales. The European giants possess far too much quality and that will ultimately prove to be the difference.
Porto to win, 3-1.
Porto team news
17:45 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneClaudio Ramos is ready to deputise for Diogo Costa once again as the Porto keeper is unlikely to be risked.
Arsenal loanee Fabio Vieira is hopeful of retaining his place in the starting XI, whilst Samu Aghehowa is expected to lead the line.
Inter Miami team news
17:40 , Tashan Deniran-AlleyneJordi Alba is fit and available for selection after missing the goalless draw with Al Ahly through injury. The Spaniard is an option to replace Noah Allen at left-back.
Lionel Messi is expected to start in attack alongside Luis Suarez as Marcelo Weigandt could start following an impressive showing as a substitute four days ago.
