⭐️ Estêvão shines as MVP in goalless draw between Palmeiras and Porto | OneFootball

Palmeiras and Porto ended the second match without goals so far in the 2025 Club World Cup, following the draw between Al Ahly and Inter Miami in the opening match, also in Group A.

While in the tournament’s opening match the goalkeepers were the standout figures, in this clash there weren’t as many clear chances, although the match was intense and entertaining, and therefore no individual particularly stood out.

Palmeiras did a bit more than Porto to try to take the lead, with several of their midfield talents among the highlights, in addition to a solid defense and a confident, reliable goalkeeper.

Estêvão, one of the match’s standout players

In the absence of an outstanding figure, it’s worth highlighting the performance of the young Estêvão Willian, one of the clearest players on the Brazilian team when it came to linking up and creating play with the opponent’s goal in mind.

Porto’s goalkeeper, Cláudio Ramos, also had a very good match and made the necessary saves to keep a clean sheet, despite Estêvão’s attempts.

To round out the top three, the good performance of Colombian Richard Ríos in Palmeiras’ midfield is also worth mentioning.

With the first matchday of Group A completed, it stands out as the most evenly matched group of the Club World Cup so far.
