⏱️ Rossi plays the unlikely hero as PSG take the lead | OneFootball

PSG went into halftime at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium defeating Flamengo 1-0.

And they are on the verge of winning the FIFA Intercontinental Cup on Qatari soil this Wednesday (17).

Kvaratskhelia scored after a mistake by Rossi, who had already been drawing attention before.

Scare and VAR in action

A back pass from Flamengo resulted in a big kick from Rossi.

And a goal for PSG, after Fabián Ruiz took advantage of the empty goal.

The luck for Flamengo was that the ball had already gone out over the end line.

This was confirmed by the video referee.

Fla improves, but PSG scores

After failing to escape the opponent's control, Flamengo started to press Luis Enrique's team better and also hold more possession.

But without creating real goal-scoring chances.

And the deserved goal for the team that was pushing more came.

Doué tried to set up Kvaratskhelia, but Rossi got there first.

However, the defense was only partial and the number 7 picked up the rebound (38').

Goalkeeper: Dyogo Alves

Full-backs: Emerson Royal and Ayrton Lucas

Defender: Danilo
