Result Palmeiras 2 – 0 Al Ahly Cairo, Thursday 19 June 2025, FIFA Club World Cup Group Stage

Palmeiras triumphed over Al Ahly from Egypt with a score of 2-0 in their Group A match of the FIFA Club World Cup on Thursday, June 19, 2025, at MetLife Stadium located in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The match experienced a 50-minute delay due to concerns about thunderstorms. Brazil’s Palmeiras netted two goals within a quick span of 10 minutes during the second half.

Sadly, in the 49th minute, Wessam Abou Ali, the Palestine international striker for Ahly, inadvertently scored an own goal while attempting to defend a free kick delivered by Anibal Moreno, resulting in a mix-up with his teammates and giving Palmeiras the advantage.

The initial goal in the group was soon followed by another just 10 minutes later. In the 59th minute, a swift counter-attack from the Brazilian side was skillfully finished by Jose Manuel Lopez, who had been substituted in at halftime.
