After the resounding victory over Atletico Madrid, coach Luis Enrique made some changes to the starting lineup, keeping Vitinha in midfield and continuing to trust the attacking trio of Ramos - Kvaratskhelia - Doue.

PSG entered the game well, continuously creating pressure from the left wing with Kvaratskhelia's dynamism, but the lackluster attack failed to take advantage of the opportunities.

The turning point of the match came in the 36th minute when Igor Jesus took advantage of a quick counter-attack, his shot hit Pacho's foot and changed direction, leaving Donnarumma helpless, putting Botafogo in the lead.

In the second half, although Ramos had a good chance to equalize, it was denied by goalkeeper John Victor. Even with a series of key players on the field, PSG was still deadlocked against Botafogo's tight defense.

The 1-0 result helped Botafogo win all 2 matches, top Group B and full of hope to continue, while PSG fell into a difficult position before the final match. The reigning Champions League champion had to win in the final match if he did not want to leave the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 early.
