FIFA Club World Cup 2025: Palmeiras nets second half double to beat Al Ahly
Brazil's Palmeiras scored twice in the space of 10 second-half minutes to beat Al Ahly of Egypt 2-0 in their Group A Club World Cup clash which was halted for 50 minutes because of fears over stormy weather at the MetLife Stadium on Thursday. Ahly's Palestine international striker Wessam Abou Ali headed into his own net trying to defend a free kick whipped in by Anibal Moreno, getting into a mix-up with his defenders to hand Palmeiras a 49th-minute lead. The first goal in the group was followed 10 minutes later by a swift counter-attack from the Brazilian club, expertly finished by Jose Manuel Lopez, who had come on at halftime. Immediately after the second goal, English referee Anthony Taylor took the two teams off the field while the public address announcer told spectators to leave their seats and seek shelter under the stadium concourse because of a 'severe weather threat'.
