Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain is in the round of 16 of the club World Cup-however, the big tournament also has its first prominent victim. The Spanish top club Atletico Madrid came to a 1-0 (0-0) against Botafogo Fr from Rio de Janeiro on the last preliminary round game day, but that was no longer sufficient in Engen Group B. At the same time, Paris made everything clear with a 2-0 (1: 0) mandatory victory against the Seattle Sunders from the USA.
PSG was the first to complete the group of four. Botafogo, winner of the South American Copa Libertadores, is also second in the round of the last 16th Atletico, as third – although all three teams have six points in their account.
However, the Spaniards needed a higher victory against Botafogo because the club World Cup has a clear 0: 4 against Paris at the start of several teams-and Atletico had done a clear 0: 4. Antoine Griezmann (87th) scored late to 1-0 for Atletico, Botafogo again defended a lot, the Brazilians conceded only two goals during the group phase. The Rio team also had chances against Madrid.
Paris had to deal with an opponent that was still much more defensive, but Seattle could not keep the zero too long. Chwitscha Kwarazchelia (35th) scored in the first half, after the break the former Dortmund Achraf Hakimi (66.) was successful.
