Inter Miami player ratings vs Palmeiras: Luis Suarez is on fire! Ex-Liverpool star bags goal & assist as MLS side progresses to Club World Cup knockouts despite Lionel Messi having rare off day

Inter Miami booked their spot in the knockout rounds of the FIFA Club World Cup following a 2-2 draw with Palmeiras, in a game that saw Luis Suarez claim a goal and an assist.

Miami opened the scoring in the first half through a blistering counterattack. Suarez fed a sprinting Tadeo Allende, who, one-v-one with the goalkeeper, put the ball home to give the Herons a 1-0 lead.

The Uruguayan forward then doubled Miami's lead himself, 20 minutes into the second half, scoring a stupendous effort to set-up what felt like a sure victory. However, the Serie A side didn't give up, and their grit and effort paid off as they secured two late goals to manage a point on the night. Midfielder Paulinho first found the back of the net in the 80th minute, before 24-year-old Mauricio arrived off the bench to draw them level with two minutes to spare.

Palmeiras, with momentum behind them, nearly scored a winner with the final kick of the game, but Paulinho's attempt was denied by Miami goalkeeper Oscar Ustari.
