"It was a difficult game, and we had to defend well, and we did our job and scored a goal."We're really happy -- we knew how important this game was. One team was the champion of the Champions League, the other team was the champion of South America," added Jesus, who had been strongly linked with a move to English Premier League side Nottingham Forest earlier this year before opting to stay with the Brazilians to play in the Club World Cup."I think I made the right choice to stay in Botafogo," Jesus quipped.'Intense'PSG coach Luis Enrique said his team had expected a tough battle."We knew it was going to be a very difficult match -- they defended very well," the Spaniard said."This Club World Cup is very intense and difficult, and all the teams are highly motivated, especially when they're playing against us."The PSG manager though was adamant that the European champions still had plenty of time to resurrect their campaign."If there's a team that can turn it around, it's our team," he said. "We've got to analyse this and there's things we can improve. But I think our performance was good."PSG picked up where they had left off in Sunday's 4-0 Group B rout of Atletico Madrid, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia testing Botafogo goalkeeper John with an early curling effort after just two that early effort was as close as PSG came to scoring in a scrappy first half punctuated by a series of niggling fouls that prevented the European champions from settling into their passing midfield trio of Marlon Freitas, Gregore and Allan worked tirelessly to close down Vitinha, denying the skilful PSG playmaker time and space to launch attacks despite dominating it was Botafogo who took the lead with a goal against the run of play on 36 Savarino's perfectly weighted through ball split the PSG defence and sent Jesus racing through on Botafogo striker did brilliantly to wrongfoot the covering Willian Pacho before sweeping a shot that took a slight deflection past PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma on its way into the continued to dominate possession through the second half, and spent long periods camped in the final third. But Botafogo's defence held firm and the result leaves the Brazilians firmly on course for the last 16, with a final group game against Atletico Madrid to come in Pasadena on Monday.
