NEW JERSEY, June 15 - Palmeiras and Porto battled to a 0-0 draw in their opening Group A match of the Club World Cup at the MetLife Stadium on Sunday, with both sides unable to convert chances in an entertaining encounter.
The Brazilian side, Palmeiras, were denied on multiple occasions by Porto goalkeeper Claudio Ramos, whose impressive performance ensured the Portuguese club secured a hard-earned point.
The draw leaves all four teams in Group A level on one point after Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami and Egypt’s Al Ahly also shared spoils in a 0-0 stalemate on Saturday.
