Botafogo was also successful in PSG through a deadly counterattack, led the representative of Brazil to the top of the GRP B World Cup inter -Club 2025!

PSG Dominant, Botafogo is sharper

PSG immediately pressed since the early minutes. Just walking for two minutes, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia took off the long -range shot that tested the Botafogo goalkeeper. Not stopping there, the Georgian winger returned to spread threats in the 6th minute through a prick from the right side, but the completion was still not accurate.

Luis Enrique’s team got a chance from a free kick in the 10th minute which was executed by Vitinha, but the ball only produced a corner after widening from the target.

Kvaratskhelia again became a PSG attack motor in the 19th minute and provoked violations in dangerous areas. Unfortunately, the chance of a dead ball has not produced a goal. Botafogo survived discipline, while coach Renato Paiva looked very focused on giving instructions on the sidelines.

There was a concern when Desire Doue looked in pain in the wrist in the 30th minute, but he was able to continue the match.

Momentum changed drastically in the 36th minute when Igor Jesus took advantage of a quick counterattack and scored a goal for Botafogo, making PSG behind 0-1. Until the first half ended in 45+3 minutes, PSG still had difficulty penetrating the defense of the Brazilian representative meeting.

Son leveled goals, emotions peaked

PSG started the second half with high intensity. The 51st minute, they got a free kick after Marlon Freitas violated Doue, but his execution did not threaten the Botafogo goal.

In the 60th minute, Hakimi tried the luck of the free kick, but the ball soared. PSG began to be frustrated and put fresh players such as Barcola, Mendes, Fabian Ruiz, and Manuel Ugarte in 61 to 65 minutes.

Botafogo almost enlarged the advantage in the 65th minute through a dangerous cross-bait scheme that failed to be struck on target.

PSG’s hopes had appeared in the 79th minute when Barcola broke into the opponent’s goal, but the referee annulled the goal because of offside.

Emotions began to peak in the 83rd minute, when there was an argument between Allan and Kvaratskhelia, two players who had defended Napoli.

Match Analysis: PSG loses spurs without mbappé

PSG shows the dominance of ball possession, but their sharpness clearly declined without the presence of Kylian Mbappé who was absent due to illness. Kvaratskhelia tried to fill the emptiness, but her efforts were not enough to bring change.

Meanwhile, Botafogo appeared efficient and disciplined, with a solid defensive scheme and counterattack that was executed very well. Igor Jesus became a hero of victory carrying Botafogo leading the group and opened the way to the knockout phase.

For PSG, this defeat is a danger signal. Without full points, their chances of escaping from the group phase will be very heavy.
