Paris Saint-Germain have nearly booked their place in the FIFA Club World Cup knockout stages as they won 2-0 against Seattle Sounders last night. The game was pretty amazing for the European Champions as they were completely dominating the underdogs. They lost their last game which was against a side named Botafogo. However, they are in 1st position and will definitely go to the knockout stage of the competition.<\/p>\n
Paris Saint-Germain shook off last week\u2019s shock defeat to Botafogo with a commanding 2-0 victory over Seattle Sounders at a packed Lumen Field on Monday night, moving the Ligue 1 giants to the summit of Group B and virtually guaranteeing their passage to the FIFA Club World Cup knockout rounds.<\/p>\n
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia broke the deadlock on 35 minutes, reacting quickest when Vitinha\u2019s edge-of-the-box strike ricocheted off the Georgian\u2019s back and wrong-footed keeper Stefan Frei. Achraf Hakimi doubled the advantage midway through the second half, slotting home after Bradley Barcola\u2019s surging run unhinged the Sounders\u2019 overloaded defence. The goals book-ended a display in which Luis Enrique\u2019s side monopolised possession and out-shot the MLS hosts 15-5.<\/p>\n
The result lifts PSG to six points with a +5 goal difference, edging Botafogo (+1) and Atl\u00e9tico Madrid (-1) on head-to-head criteria after all three finished level on six points. Under the new 32-team format only the group winner advances, meaning the Parisians will face the Group A runner-up in Atlanta on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
