Griezmann's Last-Minute Strike: Atlético's Bittersweet Victory

Antoine Griezmann delivered a crucial strike in the dying minutes of Atletico Madrid's match against Botafogo, clinching a 1-0 win on Monday. Despite the victory, Atletico's journey at the Club World Cup came to an end, failing to advance beyond the group stage.

Paris St Germain's 2-0 triumph over Seattle Sounders in Group B's simultaneous fixture ensured the French club topped the group. Both PSG and Botafogo ended with six points, but PSG's superior goal difference granted them the top spot, while Botafogo advanced to the last 16 in second place.

For Atletico, finishing third meant elimination, as Seattle departed pointless. In a match filled with pivotal moments, Botafogo's Igor Jesus and Jefferson Savarino tested Atletico's keeper Jan Oblak, who made vital saves. Griezmann's decisive 87th-minute goal not only concluded the match with an Atletico win but also affected Botafogo's group standings, giving PSG the top tier position.
