Igor Jesus scored the lone goal as Botafogo pulled off a stunning 1-0 upset win over Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the Club World Cup on Thursday night. The Brazilian side held firm defensively, frustrating PSG’s star-studded attack and securing a historic win that boosts their hopes of reaching the knockout stage.A crowd of 53,699 packed into Pasadena’s Rose Bowl to witness the upset.PSG, considered one of the tournament favorites following their dominant 5-0 Champions League final win over Inter Milan last month, were left frustrated by a disciplined and defiant Botafogo performance. A win would have made the French champions the first team to qualify for the last 16, but their progress was stalled by resolute Brazilian resistance.“A lot of people had doubts, but we showed how strong Botafogo is,” said Jesus, whose goal made the difference. “It was tough. We had to defend well, and we did our job. One team is the Champions League winner, the other is South America’s champion. We knew how important it was.”PSG began brightly, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia forcing an early save from goalkeeper John in just the second minute. However, that proved to be their best chance in a scrappy, foul-filled first half that disrupted their rhythm.Botafogo’s midfield trio of Marlon Freitas, Gregore, and Allan put in a tireless shift, effectively neutralizing Vitinha and denying PSG any attacking fluency despite their dominance in possession.The decisive moment came in the 36th minute, when Jefferson Savarino threaded a perfect through ball to Jesus. The striker showed composure to evade Willian Pacho and fired a low shot past Gianluigi Donnarumma with a slight deflection.PSG controlled the ball throughout the second half and spent most of it in Botafogo’s half, but couldn’t break down the well-organized defense.With a final Group B match against Atletico Madrid still to come on Monday, Botafogo are now in a commanding position to advance to the last 16.
