Yet, they almost conceded before halftime, with only <strong>Wessam Abou Ali\u2019s goalline clearance<\/strong> preserving the deadlock. It was a reminder that even in control, one lapse could change everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Second Half: Miami\u2019s Moment and El Shenawy\u2019s Brilliance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Coach <strong>Javier Mascherano<\/strong>\u2019s halftime talk worked. Inter Miami came out with renewed energy and threatened Al Ahly&#8217;s goal for the first time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tadeo Allende<\/strong> found himself six yards out but was thwarted by a sprawling <strong>Mohamed El Shenawy<\/strong>, who delivered a world-class save of his own.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The final 20 minutes saw the game slow down, likely due to the <strong>intense Florida heat<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As time ticked away, <strong>Lionel Messi<\/strong> almost produced the moment of magic that fans came to see. His curling effort looked destined for the top corner, only for <strong>El Shenawy\u2019s fingertips<\/strong> to tip it onto the crossbar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What It Means for Group C<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a group that includes <strong>Porto<\/strong> and <strong>Palmeiras<\/strong>, this was a golden opportunity for both teams to grab early momentum. Although it ended in a draw, both Inter Miami and Al Ahly showcased enough to suggest they\u2019ll be tough contenders in their remaining group fixtures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"740\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-1.webp\" alt=\"Inter Miami vs Al Ahly Ends 0-0 in Club World Cup Thriller\" class=\"wp-image-10768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-1.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-1-300x185.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-1-1024x631.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-1-768x474.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-1-150x93.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-1-696x429.webp 696w, https:\/\/www.bangbet.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-1-1068x659.webp 1068w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Want to Make Every Match More Thrilling?
