The Herons had to have this game to boost their chances of advancing, and it was Messi, of course, who delivered

At one stage, the Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise were staring an early exit in the face, but a moment of magic from Lionel Messi in the second half means they head into their final Group A fixture against Palmeiras needing just a point to qualify for the round of 16.

Lionel Messi scored a fine free-kick as Inter Miami came from behind to beat Porto 2-1 in Atlanta and get their first win of the Club World Cup. Inter Miami - held to a goalless draw by Egyptian side Al Ahly in their opening Group A fixture at Hard Rock Stadium - recovered after falling behind to an early penalty from Porto forward Samu Aghehowa.
