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.
Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
