The Club World Cup Group A ushered in two crucial games, namely the match between Palmeiras and Miami International, and Porto against Cairo Nationals. Miami International started out pretty well in the showdown with Palmeiras. In the 16th minute, Suarez made a wonderful pass, Allende scored a single goal after receiving the ball, successfully breaking the deadlock on the court, and Miami International led 1-0.

Immediately afterwards, Miami International scored again in the 65th minute, and Suarez attacked again, expanding the score to 2-0. The team has obvious advantages and victory seems to be within reach. But in the 73rd minute, coach Ma Ge made a controversial decision - to replace Suarez in advance, and this change became the turning point of the game.

In the subsequent game, Palmeiras ushered in a counterattack opportunity, with Paulinho and Maurinho scoring two goals in the 80th and 87th respectively, successfully tied the score to 2-2. The victory that was originally under control instantly turned into a bubble, and Miami International lost the hope of being the first in the group and would also face a strong challenge from Paris.

In this game, Suarez performed brilliantly, not only contributing an assist and a goal, but also creating two scoring opportunities, completing three key passes and breakthroughs, and having a successful interception. However, the decision to substitution made Miami International lose the threat and organizational capabilities brought by Suarez, causing the attack to stagnate, the defense line faces tremendous pressure, and conceding the ball became an inevitable result.

Marte Malfoy has repeatedly encountered setbacks in the coaching process. Miami International's ranking has been declining this season, and Mascherano's substitution choice has once again caused controversy. Fans have doubts about his coaching ability and believe that he may be one of the shortcomings that affects the team's performance.
