Porto and Al Ahly enter the final round of the FIFA Club World Cup (CWC) Group A in New York tied on points. This match is a do-or-die situation for both teams, as they each come off a draw in matchday one and a loss in matchday two.

Porto is facing a challenge similar to many other European teams in the CWC and is on the brink of elimination if they can't improve their performance. Moreover, Porto is in a tough spot because their fellow group opponents, Palmeiras and Inter Miami, will both qualify if they draw their match played alongside this one. For Porto to qualify, they need to win and hope that Inter Miami wins their match as well. Additionally, they will depend on a series of tiebreakers that need to work in their favour.
