Club WC: Botafogo Beat Sounders; Palmeiras And FC Porto Play Out Goalless Draw

By IANS News June 16, 2025 • 11:08 AM View: 103

FIFA Club World Cup: 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.
