FIFA Club World Cup 2025: PSG beats Bayern Munich to seal semi -final

Desire Doué scored in the 78th minute and Ousmane Dembele added a second in stopping time when Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) sealed his place in the semi-final of the FIFA Club World Cup with a 2-0 quarterfinals over Bayern Munich on Saturday in Atlanta.

PSG played the last minutes with only nine players after a few red cards and still added a goal to seal the victory.

Referee Anthony Taylor fired Willian Pacho in the 82nd minute for his dangerous challenge at Bayern’s Thomas Muller and sent Lucas Hernandez in the second half of the second half of the stop time for an elbow in the direction of Raphael Guerreiro.

But Doue and Dembele’s first goals of the tournament were enough to seal a meeting in East Rutherford, on Wednesday, with the winner of the second semifinal on Saturday between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.

Gianluigi Donnarumma made five rescues to keep PSG’s fourth clean sheet of the tournament.

Bayern leaves the tournament after he was kept scoreless for the first time, one day on which Josip Stanisic and Jamal Musiala lost to injuries in the first half.

It was still 11-on-11 when Doue took the pass from Joao Neves, created some space near the edge of the penalty area and then unleashed a strike that found the right corner while Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer tried to change direction.

Dembele doubled the advantage on a stunning trip Vooruit despite the numerical disadvantage and a number of brilliant setup work by Achraf Hakimi, who defended three defenders of the dribble.

Hakimi then fed Dembele in step for a first low finish that Neuer left little chance.

Bayern thought it had the chance to withdraw a late goal when Taylor whistled a penalty later in the stop, just to reverse his decision after a video assessment.

Musiala left for a stretch during the break after a horrible ankle injury after a jumble for the ball with Donnarumma that did not show any signs of bad intention.

Even Donnaruma was desperate after seeing the size of Musiala’s injury, which came in the last seconds of the first half.

Twelve minutes earlier, Stanisic left an apparent hamstring injury.

Donnaruma made a few exceptional saves in the first half.

In the 27th minute he jumped to the right of the targeted effort of Michael Olise from just outside the corner of the six-year box.

In the 41st minute he extended in the opposite direction to keep the efforts of Aleksandar Pavlovic – an intended early cross that was centimeters for Musiala near the penalty spot – in the right post.

Neuer was also called into action during the first half, so that the efforts of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia were thoroughly at the Nearby Post with a vast arm in the 32nd minute.

Four minutes in the second half he left to deny Bradley Barcola during the break.
