Inter Miami v Porto live: Team news and line-ups with Lionel Messi set to start at Club World Cup – UK Times

Meanwhile in New Jersey, the other match in this group – between Palmeiras and Al Ahly – has been suspended due to the threat of thunderstorm. The Brazilian side were leading 2-0 after about an hour of play when the players were pulled off the pitch, and it’s unclear when the game will resume.

Inter Miami face Porto at 3pm ET in Atlanta, Georgia – that is 8pm BST.

The match takes place at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which is the home of NFL outfit Atlanta Falcons and MLS side Atlanta United. The venue has a capacity of around 71,000, and will also host one of the semi-finals at the 2026 World Cup.

The American side drew 0-0 with Al Ahly in the opening match of the tournament last week, with Messi unable to inspire his side to a win despite an encouraging performance from the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner.

But with Porto having drawn with Brazilian side Palmeiras in their opener, it’s all to play for in Group A, with either side well-placed to qualify for the round of 16 if they are able to grab a win tonight.

Welcome along to live coverage of tonight’s Club World Cup clash between Inter Miami and Porto in Atlanta, Georgia.
