Florida, Jun 24 (UNI) Lionel Messi will face former club Paris St-Germain at the Fifa Club World

Cup as Inter Miami drew 2-2 with Palmeiras to reach the knockout stages.

A point was sufficient for both sides to progress and Tadeo Allende and Luis Suarez had Inter

cruising at 2-0 in front of 60,914 fans at Hard Rock Stadium.

However the Brazilian club scored two goals in the final 10 minutes - from Paulinho and Mauricio -

to ensure they went through as winners of Group A on goal difference on Monday.

Inter finished second to set up the meeting with PSG, where Argentina forward Messi played from 2021 to 2023, according to a BBC news.

Elsewhere in Group A, Egyptian side Al Ahly conceded an 89th-minute equaliser to draw 4-4 with Porto.

Wessam Ali's hat-trick for Al Ahly was cancelled out by goals from Rodrigo Mora, William and Samu Aghehowa before Mohamed Romdhane put Al Ahly 4-3 up in the 64th minute.

However, Brazilian winger Pepe's dramatic late equaliser at Metlife Stadium ensured both sides exited the group phase with two points apiece.
