Mohamed Magdy Afsha, the star of Al Ahly, confirmed that his team could have qualified for the round of 16 if they had utilized the chances available to them, particularly in the matches against American team Inter Miami and Portuguese team Porto.

Al Ahly drew with Porto early this Tuesday morning with a score of 4-4, placing Al Ahly at the bottom of Group A with two points, thus exiting the Club World Cup competition.

Afsha added in his statements: "Luck was not on our side against Porto; we played a great match and it could have ended with a large number of goals in our favor."

Afsha concluded by apologizing to the fans for not qualifying in the Club World Cup, emphasizing that the presence of Al Ahly fans at matches in America is not unusual for them, especially since the players are accustomed to their fans always being a strong support and backing for them.
