Al Ahly lost their second group-stage match in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup after falling 2-0 to Brazilian side Palmeiras. The game was tightly contested in the first half, but the momentum shifted in the second half with Palmeiras capitalizing on defensive errors to secure two goals.

The match began cautiously from both teams and ended the first half goalless. However, Palmeiras took advantage of defensive lapses from Al Ahly in the second half, scoring two consecutive goals that made things much more difficult for the Red Devils in the group.
As a result, Al Ahly remains with just one point, earned from their opening draw against Inter Miami, while Palmeiras climbed to four points after also drawing their first match against Portugal’s Porto.

Al Ahly now finds itself in a difficult position heading into the final group match, where they must defeat Porto and hope for favorable results in the other fixtures to keep their hopes of advancing alive.
Al Ahly is scheduled to face Porto in the third and decisive group-stage match at 4:00 AM Cairo time on Tuesday, June 24, in a must-win clash for the Egyptian side.

Meanwhile, all eyes will be on the outcome of the Inter Miami vs. Porto match in the second round, as it will play a crucial role in shaping the group standings ahead of the final round. Al Ahly may face complex qualification scenarios if they fail to win or if Inter Miami secures a favorable result.

Red Devils fans are anxiously awaiting the developments, while the technical staff—led by the Spanish coach—must address the defensive shortcomings and restore offensive balance if the team is to stay in the competition and move forward in the tournament.
