PASADENA, Calif. — Botafogo stunned Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 on Thursday night in each club’s second match of the Club World Cup.
Igor Jesus scored late in the primary half, and the South American champions made it rise up through a tense second half while moving atop the group at 2-0-0.
PSG hadn’t lost in any competition since May 3, however the European champions looked understandably weary at times before a full of life Rose Bowl crowd of 53,699.
Jesus’ stunning rating within the thirty sixth minute was the primary goal allowed since May 17 by PSG, which routed Atlético Madrid 4-0 last Sunday in Pasadena.
The French powerhouse had outscored its last three opponents by a combined 12-0, winning the French Cup and the Champions League final along the best way.
Ballon d’Or contender Ousmane Dembélé missed his second straight game for PSG with a quadriceps injury. His teammates still dominated possession in the primary half, regardless that coach Luis Enrique rotated his starting lineup.

Every thing got here undone with the remarkable individual effort by Jesus, the Brazilian striker reportedly headed for Nottingham Forest next season.
PSG finished with 16 shot attempts to Botafogo’s 4 — but all 4 were on track, whereas PSG only got two on net.
Key moment
Jesus controlled Jefferson Savarino’s long pass, outmaneuvered two defenders and thumped a shot past Gianluigi Donnarumma. He leaped over a barrier and up onto the front row of the Rose Bowl stands to have fun with Botafogo’s ecstatic supporters.
Takeaways
PSG had little of the sublime connective play that characterised its stellar run over the past month, but Enrique’s club continues to be in strong position to advance because it heads to Seattle on Monday to play Major League Soccer’s Sounders.
1000’s of boisterous Brazilian fans made the trip to have fun one of the remarkable victories in Botafogo’s storied history. The club faces Atlético on Monday on the Rose Bowl with a surprising likelihood to advance from this difficult group.
