The ball still ricocheted into the outside of the net, giving the appearance he scored. Messi’s reaction said it all. He raised his arms over his head, through his hair, and onto the back of his head.

Al Ahly keeper Mohamed El Shenawi ended the game in cramps on the pitch as he and Miami keeper Oscar Ustari were easily the men of the match. The true winner of this clash could be Brazilian side Palmeiras or Portuguese side Porto with Group wide open following the draw.
