After plenty of hype and a big opening ceremony, FIFA were probably hoping for some fireworks in this opening game of the Club World Cup, which kicked off 1am Nigeria time today.
It didn’t quite go to plan as good old-fashioned 0-0 draw was played out in Miami.
It was a fairly entertaining match, despite the scoreline, with both sides having big chances to break the deadlock.
Al Ahly came the closest, but Ustari did brilliantly to save from Abou Ali’s penalty while Lionel Messi hit the post.
