It could seem, a priori, unbalanced, but the duel between the European champion and South America was not. On the contrary. Botafogo 'went down to Earth' to Paris Saint-Germain with a historic triumph (0-1) to place himself solo leader of group B with six points. A result that complicates, and much, the pass to the eighth of Atlético … despite the victory against Seattle Sounders (1-3).
Al PSG'orphan' of the injured Dembeléthey did not sit well with four changes I introduced Luis Enrique With respect to the team that thrashed Atlético (4-0) in the debut: Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, Joao Neves y Fabián Ruiz They left their place Beraldo, Lucas Hernandez, Mayulu and Zaïre-Emery.
There were barely two minutes when KVARATSKHELIA forced John Victor to clear fists, Ex Valladolid. The Georgian, the most active of Paris Saint-Germain in attack, tried again, with a left -footed shot that was diverted in 6 '.
They were two mirages. The European champion was choking the intelligent tactical framework that Renato Paiva raisedwhich reinforced the 'machine room' with Allan, former Naples.
Artur, that completed a great game, warned with two solo attempts in 7 'and in 27'. The one who hit was Igor Jesuswho if not, in 38 '. Artur himself 'stole Mayulu's portfolio and launched the counter. Savarino leaked to space and the number '99', only in dangermade the rest.
He slipped between Beraldo and Pacho, cut the Ecuadorian and marked … with some luck. His shot hit Pacho and confused Donnarumma.The PSG, for the first time in 366 minutes, looked below on the scoreboard. Moreover, you have to go back to the November 26, against Bayern, To find the last time He had left losing rest In an international competition match.
Igor Jesus, on the other hand, follows his own. The Brazilian international has marked in the last four games he has played between Libertadores and World Cup of Clubs. In addition, it is Talismán: Whenever marks, Botafogo does not lose: 13 victories and two draws.
74% possession with which Paris Saint-Germain arrived at rest resulted in a single goal shot. The beginning of the second half changed anything.
The PSG had a great occasion, yes, but it reached the stopped ball. Vitinha served a lateral foul in 50 'and John Victor diverted the gonçalo bugajalo auction with his chest. The Botafogo responded with a couple of attempts by Alex Telles (48 ') and Savarino (53') that did not put Donnarumma in trouble.
Luis Enrique, in 55 ', said enough. He put Fabián Ruiz, Nuno Mendes, Barcola and Joao Neves … but not for those. The center of the Botafogo field, with an imperial Allan, was armed cement.
To top it off, the Paris Saint-Germain, unable to generate situations of superiority, He saw how a goal was annulled in 79 '. The distant shot of Beraldo hit Kvarathskhelia's backwhich was clear out of play, which invalidated the shot to the Barcola network.
The minutes passed and the decoration did not change. El 'Fogao' Reduce to 'Cenizas' to Achraf, Vitinha, Doué … He tried 'Kvara', again, with a direct free that was touching the crossbar in 92 'and vitinha with a shot that left high in 94'. There was no way. Botafogo went down to earth to PSG who closed the game with two shots at the door … and puts Atlético against the strings.
