Al Ahly head coach Jose Riveiro has reflected on his first game in charge after they drew with Inter Miami in their opening game of the Club World Cup.

The Egyptian giants had to settle for a point after they held Inter Miami to a goalless draw at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.

The draw sees Al Ahly sit at the top of Group A with one point after their first game, while Inter are in second place on the log with the same amount of points.

Riveiro admits that he felt like they were playing in Cairo but was also surprised by his side’s performance against Lionel Messi’s Inter side.

“It’s a football game, a game of mistakes,” Riveiro said.

“We had a decent amount of chances in the first half to put the game in a different space and we put them in a hurry.

“In the second half we were defending a little lower than what we wanted and then we had some problems in transition with controlling our first pass.

“It’s like we were playing in Cairo and that was a surprise for me in my first official match with Al Ahly.

“To be here in the States and have it like you were playing at home is something that can probably only happen in this.”
