We will update this file with the latest reporting, analysis and fun in each match day, so look back regularly for the latest news because we follow the fun that is leading to move forward Tournament Finals at MetLife Stadium on 13 July.
Lead: Group B Drama as PSG Advanced, Atlatico Madrid goes home early
When the target finally came, it was too late.
Atteletico Madrid pushed and pushed against Botfogo in Pasadeena, California, took 23 shots and made five “big opportunities” with XG (expected goals) of 3.03. But he did not score till Antony Grizzman – on Haftime – Julian Alverez’s cross to the previous goalkeeper John Victor in a remote position. This was the 87th minute.
On the touchline, coach Diego Shimon urged his team, asked for a last attempt. But another goal will not be enough.
In the Lumen Field, Paris was above 2–0 against the St.-Germen Seattle Soundlers, which meant that PSG, Botfogo and Atletico were all tied at six points. Group B will be fixed at a goal margin – and Atlatico required two more goals for progress.
When the fourth officer indicated an additional time of six minutes, there was another cheering from the Atletico fans scattered around the bowl daily, but it was his last. Instead, on full-time whistle, he was a fan of Botfogo-gathered behind a target, in the huge stadium who looked close to Purna-who were celebrating in their black and white shirts.
Fair Play for him too: Botfogo protected well. Atteletico felt that some major decisions, especially two penalty appeals, did not go in their way, but botafogo, regardless of this – a team punched her weight above their weight, from winning 2024 Copa Libertdors to win the PSG in another game – which were in the last 16.
Atteletico can consider itself inauspicious, and it can happen properly. He won two of his three matches in a difficult group – he played the role of champions and a Seattle sounders team of Europe and South America, who took advantage of the house. Given that challenge, after the poor end of the Eliga season, the tournament will have questions about the decision of Atlatico to not strengthen their squad ahead of this tournament.
“I want to congratulate the opponent,” Shimon said postmach. ,[Botafogo] Played very well with courage and honesty: they rescued because it is necessary to defend, and when you protect and attack well, you definitely have more likely to win. ,
Atteletico was not quite enough. It was a measure of his 4–0 defeat for PSG, which spent him, was combined with Botfogo’s amazing victory at the same opposition. The exit of Atletico did not appear to hurt his players too much – Grizman could be seen smiling as he used to talk with Botfogo players and employees after whistle in the boil daily – but for Botfogo, it is worthwhile.
“Brazil is a huge country, which has special football and many good players,” said coach Rentato Pawa. “There are very good coaches in Brazil. We are all helping to show what Brazil is. Many people think that Brazil is weaker than this. We are very proud to represent the country, and our clubs.” Now they will have a chance to do so in the last 16.
