Another sensational result was recorded in the second round of the Club World Cup. On June 20, at dawn, in front of more than 93,000 spectators at the Rose Bowl stadium, the Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain faced Brazil’s “Botafogo”.
PSG, known for its strong and star-studded lineup, was regarded as the absolute favorite for this match. However, reality turned out differently — in the 36th minute, a single goal scored by Brazilian striker Igor Jesus decided the outcome of the game.
In the second half, the Parisians threw all their strength to turn things around — ball control, pressure, and tactical changes after the break did not bring any result. “Botafogo” acted very confidently in defense and reduced PSG’s chances to a minimum.
This result was a major blow for PSG. Despite being the reigning Champions League winners, their situation for the next stage of the Club World Cup has become much more complicated. On the contrary, for “Botafogo”, this victory became an important step to strengthen their name on the world football stage.
The match participants and fans witnessed a truly noisy night — the Brazilian club managed to “drown” Europe’s expected powerhouse, PSG.
It should be noted that this match will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the most unexpected results of the 2025 World Cup. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
