Al Ahly nearly struck early, as Emam Ashour forced a save from Inter Miami\u2019s veteran goalkeeper \u00d3scar Ustari in the 8th minute.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Messi hits post and crossbar as Al Ahly and Inter Miami open the Club World Cup goalless \u274c <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CbrpTCusrm\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/CbrpTCusrm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 433 (@433) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/433\/status\/1934070377812226348?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">June 15, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>He continued his heroics later in the half, denying Achraf Dari\u2019s close-range header in the 33rd minute before saving a penalty from Trezeguet in the 43rd to keep the Egyptian giants off the scoresheet.<\/p>\n<p>Inter Miami nearly grabbed the win late, with Fafa Picault\u2019s powerful 85th-minute header, set up by Lionel Messi, being tipped over the bar by Al Ahly keeper Mohamed Elshenawy.<\/p>\n<p>In a dramatic finish, Messi hit the woodwork in the 96th minute with a curling long-range shot, and Maximiliano Falc\u00f3n\u2019s header in the 98th was deflected just over the crossbar as Inter Miami pressed for a winner.<\/p>\n<p>The result leaves both teams with a point to start the tournament.
