Atletico Madrid - Botafogo (first half) 0-0: Atletico denied penalty

In the 45+1 minute, VAR intervened and determined that there was no penalty for Atletico Madrid even though Alvarez was kicked in the penalty area. The reason was that before that, one of his teammates had fouled the opponent.

Line-up:

Atletico Madrid: Oblak, Molina, Le Normand, Gimenez, Galan, Simeone, De Paul, Koke, Barrios, Griezmann, Alvarez

Botafogo: John, Vitinho, Cunha, Barboza, Telles, Gregore, Allan, Freitas, Artur, Jesus, Savarino

The situation in Group B of this year's FIFA Club World Cup is quite interesting. Botafogo, a Brazilian team that is not highly rated, is sitting comfortably at the top of the group with 6 points.

They beat Seattle Saunders and then overcame a powerful Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to get this result.

Meanwhile, PSG and Atletico Madrid both have 3 points, but the French team is in second place thanks to a better head-to-head record. Seattle Sounders is officially eliminated without any points.

In the final match, PSG will almost certainly beat Seattle Sounders, even by a large margin. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid will have to beat Botafogo. If this scenario happens, all three teams will have 6 points and win back-to-back. At that time, the head-to-head goal difference factor will be taken into account.

And this is the tension of Group B. Atletico Madrid must win big against Botafogo after losing 0-4 to PSG. This will be a difficult task for coach Diego Simeone's team, because attacking is not their forte.

Meanwhile, Botafogo showed how good they are at defending despite being a Brazilian team with a fiery attacking style of play.

The final match of Group B of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will take place at 2:00 a.m. on June 24.
