Inter Miami drew with Palmerias to close out Group A action in the FIFA Club World Cup. The result means the Herons don't top their group after leading by two goals, but they do advance to the round of 16. A tantalizing matchup on paper given Lionel Messi's ties to Paris Saint-Germain.
The Herons attacked and defended admirably for 80 minutes as Luis Suárez and Tadeo Allende had them in front for a majority of the game. Palmeiras fought back to score two late goals and secure their spot atop the group with an exciting Libertadores clash against Botafogo up next.
Many thought MLS sides would struggle heavily, but Inter Miami emerge undefeated and among the final 16. They'll be upset with conceding two late goals, but fatigue was setting in as Javier Mascherano was forced into multiple substitutions.
