Inter Miami head coach, Javier Mascherano, was happy with their performance after they confirmed their spot in the last 16 of the 2025 Club World Cup.
The MLS played out a 2-2 draw with Palmeiras on Monday, a result that ensured they both qualified for the knockouts.
Tadeo Allende and Luis Suárez had given Miami a two-goal lead.
But with 10 minutes left in the game, Paulinho and Mauricio scored to help Palmeiras get a point.
“It was a great game from us, it’s difficult to play against one of the best teams in South America,” Mascherano said.
“Maybe at the end we had the game in our hands so the feeling is strange but before the start of the tournament, if someone told me we were going to have this kind of performance against these kind of teams, I would have signed it.”
Inter Miami finished as runners-up behind Palmeiras and will now face Paris Saint-Germain for a place in the quarter-finals.
