Botafogo Beat Seattle Sounders, Palmeiras And Porto Play Out Goalless Draw In FIFA Club World Cup 2025
Botafogo began their FIFA Club World Cup 2025 campaign with a 2-1 victory against Seattle Sounders FC on Monday (IST) at Lumen Field, the Major League Soccer side's home stadium on Monday (IST). First-half goals from Jair Cunha and Igor Jesus left the Brazilians level with Paris Saint-Germain but in second place in Group B due to an inferior goal difference. Botafogo grabbed the lead in the 28th minute. Sounders left-back Nouhou Tolo shoved Artur to the ground to draw the match's first yellow card, and the South Americans capitalised on the ensuing free kick with Cunha's towering header. It was the 20-year-old defender's first senior goal. The Sounders rallied in the second half, however, and applied sustained pressure in the final half hour. The home side finally broke through in the 75th minute when Cristian Roldan's glancing header deflected off a defender and into goalkeeper John Victor's net. "We started the game very well, had chances, and then we scored. The first half was ok, but we didn't cope with their intensity in the second half. "It's our DNA to have the ball, but we didn't do that very well today, and that was a problem," said Botafogo head coach Renato Paiva. "It was an exciting game. I'm happy for the fans and proud of the players' effort. In the first half, we gave a couple of goals away but came back in the second half and made a statement. We showed we can compete. That's what we're asking: work and compete. And they did that tonight," said Seattle Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer. Meanwhile, SE Palmeiras and FC Porto played out a pulsating 0-0 draw in the third game of Matchday 2 at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. Despite the scoreline, the game was characterised by attacking football, with both sides creating numerous goal-scoring opportunities. The Brazilian side finished the match with 17 shots but just five on target. The 0-0 draw means all teams in Group A are on one point, leaving everything to play for going into the group's second matchday.

Botafogo hold off late Seattle surge for 2-1 Club World Cup debut win
Soccer Football - FIFA Club World Cup - Group B - Botafogo v Seattle Sounders FC - Lumen Field, Seattle, Washington, U.S. - June 15, 2025 Botafogo's Santiago Rodriguez in action with Seattle Sounders FC's Jackson Rage IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters/Steven Bisig REUTERS SEATTLE - Brazilian and South American champions Botafogo survived a late onslaught to beat MLS side Seattle Sounders 2-1 in their Group B opener of the Club World Cup at Lumen Field on Sunday. First-half headers from Jair Cunha and Igor Jesus gave the visitors a deserved lead but a second-half deflected effort from Cristian Roldan handed the hosts a lifeline. Despite coming under late pressure, Botafogo held firm to secure the three points, with goalkeeper John making a brilliant save deep in added time to deny Seattle an equaliser. Botafogo captain Marlon Freitas said it was not his side's best performance. "The important thing here was the result, the effort, but we know we didn't play well,' he told TV Globo. 'We have to learn lessons, both individually and collectively. This win helps ease some of the anxiety, but we must improve against our next opponents because playing like this, the result might not be the same.' Botafogo took control early on and Seattle keeper Stefan Frei was called into action to produce fine saves from Igor Jesus and Alex Telles. However, he was powerless to stop Cunha's opener in the 27th minute. A clumsy foul by Nouhou on Artur near the edge of the box gave Telles the chance to deliver a pinpoint free kick, which 20-year-old Cunha headed home. Igor Jesus doubled the lead just before halftime when Vitinho's long cross from the right found the 24-year-old and he outjumped the Seattle defence to direct a towering header into the bottom corner. Ryan Kent missed a golden opportunity to pull a goal back for Seattle in the 55th minute but somehow missed from close range. The Sounders were rewarded for their efforts in the 75th minute when Roldan's header deflected off Igor Jesus to wrongfoot John and nestle into the net. The goal energised the hosts and they dominated the final stages but could not find the equaliser, with John's reflex save in added time preserving Botafogo's narrow victory. Botafogo are second in Group B on goal difference, following Paris St Germain's 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid earlier on Sunday. They next take on PSG while Seattle face Atletico on Thursday.
