Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the European club football champion, has defeated Germany's Bayern Munich 2-0 in the FIFA Club World Cup, advancing to the semifinals.
The French team finished the match with nine players after Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez received red cards for fouling Leon Goretzka and Raphael Guerreiro.
Desire Doue broke the deadlock in the 78th minute, taking advantage of a mistake by Bayern's goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, after Harry Kane was dispossessed.
PSG extended their lead with a brilliant counter-attack, where Achraf Hakimi maneuvered past three defenders to assist substitute Ousmane Dembele, who had previously struck the bar.
Bayern had their chances thwarted, including a penalty decision reversed by VAR, which judged Nuno Mendes' challenge on Thomas Muller—his last game for the club—to be fair.
Things turned worse for Bayern in Atlanta, USA, as Jamal Musiala sustained a severe ankle injury after a collision with Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The injury was distressing for players and likely means the talented Germany international will miss a significant portion of the upcoming Bundesliga season, coinciding with the World Cup in the US next summer. Meanwhile, PSG's campaign in North America continues.
Although losing Pacho will pose a challenge in the semifinals against either Real Madrid or Borussia Dortmund, PSG remains hopeful of adding the Club World Cup trophy to their Champions League victory in Munich.
