Inter Miami edged out FC Porto 2-1 in the FIFA Club World Cup, a win that puts them on the brink of advancing to the next stage. The American team’s victory was largely thanks to a stunning free kick from Lionel Messi.
Messi’s goal came in the 54th minute, turning the game around after FC Porto took the lead. He curled the ball into the top right corner from just outside the box, leaving goalkeeper Cláudio Ramos with no chance. The Argentine star’s skill was on full display as he lined up the shot and struck it with precision.
The FIFA Club World Cup has introduced an innovative feature – referee cam. This technology allows viewers to see the action from the referee’s perspective, providing a unique angle on the game. In this case, the camera captured Messi’s free kick from just a few meters away, giving fans a front-row seat to the magic. Referee Cristian Garay was perfectly positioned to witness the goal, and the footage shows just how impressive the shot was.
The win puts Inter Miami in a strong position after a draw against Al Ahly in their first match. FC Porto, on the other hand, is left scrambling to regroup.
