Champions League winners PSG have had mixed fortunes so far in the United States, producing a formidable 4-0 win over 10-man Atletico Madrid in their opener before falling to a frustrating 1-0 loss to Botafogo.
Igor Jesus, reportedly set to join Nottingham Forest this summer, was the goalscorer in the Botafogo defeat.
Head coach Luis Enrique, though, highlighted the efforts of their defence as a defining factor in the result.
“Botafogo was the team that defended us best all season, obviously in our League and in the Champions League,” he said. “They made a low block from the start and were very efficient, united. We didn’t generate as many chances as usual.”
PSG could not muster a response to his first-half strike, failing to convert any of their 16 shots, 10 corners and 75 per cent possession.
Despite enjoying home pitch advantage for much of the competition, Seattle sit bottom of Group B with zero points. They are not yet eliminated, though, thanks to the middling fortunes of Atletico and PSG, and could still qualify with a win.
Goal difference is not an issue, either, as any win would see them surpass Atletico’s tally of -2.
