Inter Miami disappointed in attack in the opening game. Having just gotten off the ground, the 2025 Club World Cup is now entering in it's second round. There's certainly some catching up to do with the two Group A matches on Thursday. The Portuguese are already favorized by the specialists and they should be able to score at least once. However, it remains to be seen whether the local hero can also improve offensively at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Ultimately, the MLS club's first appearance was characterized by such nervousness, especially in the first half, that there were hardly any notable attempts to score for a long time. Despite hitting the post on a free kick, the world had naturally expected much more from Lionel Messi. Since both teams engines are still running at low revs, it may take some time for them to get into gear in their direct encounter.
