Inter Miami Stuns Club World Cup With Draw Against Palmeiras: Highlights, Knockout Path, and Streaming Info

Inter Miami Shake Up the Club World Cup, Advance With Draw Against Palmeiras

History was made under the bright lights of Hard Rock Stadium as Inter Miami clinched a spot in the FIFA Club World Cup knockout stage for the first time. On June 23, 2025, the Miami side went toe-to-toe with Brazilian giants Palmeiras in a game that gave everyone something to remember—a wild 2-2 draw that was anything but ordinary.

Most eyes were on Inter Miami, not just for their home crowd but because no MLS team had ever made it past the group phase in this tournament. They came out hungry. Sixteen minutes in, Tadeo Allende broke through, tearing down the length of the field from his own half before calmly finishing. That early goal turned the stadium electric, and it gave Miami instant belief.

The magic doubled midway through the second half. Luis Suárez, already a legend, added another brilliant moment to his career. Picking up the ball near midfield, he weaved through the center-backs like they were traffic cones. He clipped a clean finish past Palmeiras' keeper, putting Miami 2-0 up and sending the fans into a frenzy.

But Palmeiras aren't the reigning South American champs for nothing. Down two goals, they tightened up, and you could feel the momentum swing. By the 80th minute, Paulinho pounced on a loose ball in the box to get one back. Suddenly, the pressure was on. Seven minutes later, Maurício fired from the edge of the area—a snapshot Miami's keeper couldn’t keep out. Just like that, the score was level at 2-2, and Miami's dreams of topping the group were gone.

The draw was enough for both sides. Palmeiras finished on top of Group A thanks to goal difference, but Inter Miami's second place is a big deal stateside. For the first time ever, an MLS club has made it to the Club World Cup knockouts. They now have a colossal Round of 16 fixture lined up against Paris Saint-Germain on June 29 in Atlanta—a matchup that could become the stuff of legend in American soccer.
