Paris St Germain Advances in Club World Cup with Convincing Win

Paris St Germain surged into the Club World Cup's knockout rounds, prevailing over Seattle Sounders with a decisive 2-0 triumph on Monday. The Ligue 1 champions, recovering from a previous upset by Botafogo, dominated the match with goals in each half.

The opening goal materialized in the 35th minute, with Vitinha's effort inadvertently redirected by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to open PSG's account. The lead was doubled in the second half when substitute Bradley Barcola's incisive play allowed Achraf Hakimi to score.

Seattle, needing a hefty margin to advance, was left disappointed after failing to capitalize on early pressure. Despite their early aggressiveness, they exit the competition without a win, losing out on progression from Group B as Atletico Madrid also advanced.
