Saudi Arabia fall to United States in Gold Cup clash, but stay in quarterfinal race
Headline: Edited full story: (RIYADH —) Saudi Arabia suffered their first defeat at the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup, falling 1-0 to hosts United States in their second Group D match on Thursday night (Friday morning GMT). Chris Richards scored the game's only goal in the 63rd minute, steering the U.S. into the quarterfinals with a perfect six points from two matches. The tournament, jointly hosted by the United States and Canada, marks Saudi Arabia's debut as a special guest invitee. Despite the loss, Saudi Arabia delivered a more composed and disciplined performance than in their opening 1-0 win over Haiti. The Green Falcons came close on multiple occasions but were undone by poor finishing and a bit of misfortune in key moments. The result leaves the United States top of the group with six points after their emphatic 5-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago in the opener. Saudi Arabia remain second with three points, ahead of Haiti and Trinidad and Tobago, who played out a 1-1 draw earlier on Thursday and have one point each. Saudi Arabia will face Trinidad and Tobago in their final group match, needing only a draw to secure a place in the quarterfinals. Meanwhile, the United States will look to seal top spot in Group D when they meet Haiti.

Lionel Messi scores on free kick to lift Inter Miami over Porto
ATLANTA: Lionel Messi connected on a free kick in the 54th minute to propel Inter Miami to a 2-1 victory over FC Porto in a Group A match of the FIFA Club World Cup on Thursday afternoon. After Porto struck first on Samu Aghehowa's penalty kick in the eighth minute, Marcelo Weigandt assisted on Telasco Segovia's game-tying goal in the 47th. Miami found its second goal in the first 10 minutes of the second half against Porto goalkeeper Claudio Ramos as Messi scored on the 68th free-kick goal of his illustrious career. Each team netted their first goals of the tournament after Miami tied Al Ahly 0-0 on Saturday and Porto suffered the same result against Palmeiras on Sunday. After VAR review confirmation, it was determined that Miami's Noah Allen committed a tripping penalty in the box against Joao Mario, leading to Aghehowa's penalty goal that was deflected by goalkeeper Oscar Ustari and in for the game's first goal in the eighth minute. Aghehowa, 21, had 19 goals in 30 Primeira Liga matches for the Portuguese side this past season. Miami knotted the score at one less than 90 seconds into the second half, as Weigandt's cross into the center of the box was finished by Segovia, who fired in the equalizing goal past a sprawling Ramos. Miami then continued its great start to the second half, as Porto's Rodrigo Mora's foul led to Messi's successful free kick — perfectly placed in the top right corner in the 54th minute.

Messi Fit to Face Porto: Inter Miami's Mascherano
Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano said Lionel Messi would be fit to face Porto at the Club World Cup on Thursday, despite showing signs of discomfort in training. A video emerged of Messi touching his left leg during the session on Wednesday, but Mascherano confirmed the veteran forward was ready for Miami's second Group A match in Atlanta, said AFP. "On the trip from Miami to Atlanta I saw that came out in some places, but Leo is fit, he trained, he completed the whole session," Mascherano told reporters. "He was touching his leg, sometimes people touch themselves, but there's no problem, he's fit and obviously he will play tomorrow." The coach said Messi's former Barcelona team-mate Jordi Alba was available after missing the opening 0-0 draw against Al Ahly due to injury. "We'll evaluate what's best for us, if he starts or not," said the coach. "Actually, I already know but I won't tell you." Mascherano meanwhile said retaining possession would be the key against Portugal's Porto, regular Champions League participants who are likely to provide the MLS team with a stern test. "We have players who feel much more comfortable when they're in possession, dominating, and having control of the game through the ball," said the Argentine. "Of course, we're facing a team that also is used to doing that, who are a high level side. "But on the pitch we're 11 against 11, we'll try to shut down their strengths, expose their weaknesses and try to have a great game to get a good result." Inter Miami midfielder Sergio Busquets, a member of Spain's 2010 World Cup-winning side and one of Messi's former Barcelona team-mates, admitted his team would be up against it at the Mercedes-Benz stadium. "They have very good players, they have reinforced and we know that it will be very difficult," Busquets told reporters. "They are a team that compete every year for their league, against other great teams like Sporting and Benfica. "We will try to be as solid as possible, stick close together and try to do the best we can as a team. "If we get chances, we have the individuals (who can finish them), but above all we have to be solid and keep a clean sheet."
