Lionel Messi scored his first goal of the expanded Club World Cup on an exquisite free kick, lifting Inter Miami to a 2-1 victory over two-time European champion Porto in Atlanta.

It was a massive result from Inter Miami, who disappointed in their first match at the Club World Cup in a scoreless draw against Egypt's Al-Ahly. Coming into the event, Porto was the prohibitive favorite to win Group A but now has a draw against Brazil's Palmeiras and a loss to the MLS' Inter Miami.
