I would like to thank you here for your audience in this game. Stay tuned here for the repercussions of this game, and also for Saturday's live-stream World Cup weather. Have a good afternoon, and see you next time!
The grand final will be on Saturday (12), at 12:30 pm. Palmeiras is already there and awaits either Chelsea or Al-Hilal, who play tomorrow. The third place match, where Al Ahly will be, will be at 9am on the same Saturday.
Afshar received the ball on the right and hit it hard, but Weverton kept it out. The play continued and there was a strong header in the confusion, but it exploded off the crossbar!
Ashraf came in with a cart from behind on Rony, on a violent entry on the right and fouled him, getting yellow. Then the VAR called, the referee reviewed the play and sent off the Al Ahly defender!
Magdy hit the ball from outside the area and Weverton went to the ball and spread it very badly, leaving it for Sherif to hit the empty goal, but Sherif was offside and the goal was disallowed.
Veiga left it to Dudu with his heel on the right, who took off on his own and filled his foot when he invaded the area, crossed, to beat Lofty and increase the score!
Al Ahly has already participated in several World Cups. Always ending up in the semis, the Egyptians have already fallen to Internacional in 2006, Corinthians in 2012 and Bayern Munich in 2020.
In the '99 World Cup, in another format, the alviverde faced Manchester United and was defeated 1-0, with a goal by Roy Keane. In another World Cup considered by many and contested by many, the "alviverde" (a Brazilian team) beat Juventus in the first round 1-0 and drew 2-2 in the second round, thus winning the controversial Rio Cup.
In this new format Palmeiras played the World Cup only once, last year, when they were eliminated in the semis by Tigres, who scored with Gignac and won 1-0. In the penalty shootout, the alviverde lost the third place game to Al Ahly.

The other semi-final match of the World Cup takes place tomorrow at 12:30PM, when Chelsea faces Al-Hilal. To reach this stage Al-Hilal faced Al-Jazira and won by 6-1 last Sunday (6), thus making the biggest score in the history of the competition. Al-Jazira opened the scoring with Diaby's goal, and then Al-Hilal turned it around with goals from Ighalo, Matheus Pereira, Kanno, Al-Dawsari, Marega and Carrillo.
Palmeiras has already faced Al Ahly once, precisely in the 2020 Club World Cup, when they lost on penalties after a 0-0 draw. Palmeiras has played 11 times against African teams, with seven wins, two draws, and two losses, scoring 24 goals and conceding 15.
The news for the match on the part of Al Ahly are two players who were with the Egyptian national team at the weekend. In the defense enters Ayman Ashraf and in the attack enters Magdy, because in the middle stays El Solia.
