PSG beat Flamengo on penalties to claim the Intercontinental Cup | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain was crowned champion of the Intercontinental Cup after defeating Flamengo in a tense and fiercely contested final. After drawing 1-1 in regular time, the French team prevailed in the penalty shootout and lifted the trophy.

PSG, the Champions League winner, opened the scoring with a goal from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, but Mengao — the Copa Libertadores winner — equalized through a penalty converted by Jorginho.

In the penalty shootout, Matvey Safonov was the standout figure of the night, saving four shots: Saúl Ñíguez, Pedro, Leo Pereira, and Luiz Araujo couldn't beat the Russian goalkeeper. On the other side, Agustín Rossi saved Bradley Barcola's shot, and Ousmane Dembélé missed his by sending the ball over the crossbar, although it wasn't enough for Flamengo.

With Safonov as the hero, PSG claimed the victory and added a new international title to their history.
