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 footballer Paul Scholes condemns Martin Odegaard and speaks on his performance in the Arsenal team.
The football legend shared how it is the captain that is bringing the team down, as he is not playing his position properly “That game on Saturday [Arsenal vs Newcastle], I didn’t see all of it, I probably saw the first half an hour, but I think Odegaard is a big problem for them.”
“I love Odegaard, I think he’s brilliant. Technically, he’s great, but he doesn’t play his position properly. Half the time I saw him in the first 20 minutes, he was almost the deepest man.”
Nigerian politician Peter Obi reacts to the viral incident that occurred in Delta State.
It can be noted that Obi is reacting to the clip of a police officer shooting and killing an already restrained suspect.
Obi stated that it was a serious violation and abuse of power “The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, Mr. Mene Ogidi, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.
“Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.”
It has been reported that a four-year ban has been placed on Chelsea’s player, Mykhailo Mudryk, for anti-doping violations.
The player appealed in court on February 25 but has now been handed his punishment, which is a four-year ban from football.
It can be recalled that his last appearance on the field was on November 28, 2024.
