Igor Jesus Scores as Botafogo Beat PSG 1-0 in Club World Cup Game
Igor Jesus fired home the only goal as Botafogo pulled off a shock 1-0 win over Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain on Thursday night at the Club World Cup.
The French giants came into the game on a long unbeaten run that stretched back to early May and had thrashed Atletico Madrid 4-0 in their opening group match. But despite dominating possession and piling on the pressure, they couldn’t break through Botafogo’s defense.
PSG were missing Ousmane Dembele, yet still managed 16 shots compared to Botafogo’s four. However, only two of those efforts tested the goalkeeper, while Botafogo made the most of their chances—every single one was on target.
The breakthrough came just before halftime. Jefferson Savarino sent a pinpoint long ball forward, and Igor Jesus controlled it brilliantly, danced past two defenders, and blasted it past Donnarumma. With two wins in two games, Botafogo now lead the group with six points.
