Porto, Al Ahly out after sharing eight goals in thriller
Because Palmeiras and Inter Miami drew 2-2 to finish first and second in Group A respectively, both teams at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey ended up deflated, with Porto going behind and then pulling level four times on the night.
"I'm very sad, very very sad, I feel like we should have scored five or six goals, the opportunity was there to win the game," said Palestine international Abou Ali, who netted a hat-trick for Al Ahly.
The Egyptian side took the lead after 15 minutes as Abou Ali slotted a low effort past Claudio Ramos.
