ATLETI MISSED IT. YOU CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

Botafogo looked for a promising counterattack, but Iggor Jesus couldn't control the ball properly.

The match remained scoreless, and we're already entering the second half's decisive phase.

ATLÉTICO DE MADRID 62%

BOTAFOGO F.R. 38%

BOTAFOGO DON'T WIN IT THROUGH OBLAK!

Igor Jesus's furious shot from the left flank was brilliantly cleared by Atleti goalkeeper Jan Oblak. It was Botafogo's clearest chance of the second half.

Javi Galán grabbed a rebound just outside the Brazilian box, shot with his right foot, but sent the ball into the stands. What a waste.

Atlético de Madrid continues to attack Botafogo's goal with dangerous attacks. The Spaniards must win this game to avoid being eliminated from the competition, but Botafogo defends with absolute force.

ATLETI GOT ALL IN FOR THE GOAL!

After a Julián Álvarez corner, neither Lenglet nor Giuliano Simeone managed to score in a cross-legged play.

Note that there were loud shouts and shoving between players.

Giuliano Simeone made an individual move and was almost brought down in the Brazilian box, but he continued his run toward goal. Unfortunately for him, the ball didn't go well. Llorente fired it in with his left foot, but it bounced off a Botafogo player.

JULIÁN ÁLVAREZ MISSED IT, HE WAS ATLÉTI'S FIRST ONE

The Argentine received the ball in Botafogo's penalty area, was positioned, and shot comfortably with his right foot, but the ball went wide. It was Atlético de Madrid's clearest chance of the match.

In the last few minutes the game has been quite choppy between both teams, the circulation of the game has been zero and the goal options do not appear in either team, so for the moment the emotions do not reach the stadium.

JULIÁN ÁLVAREZ GOT INTO A POSITION TO SHOOT, BUT COULDN'T GET A COMFORTABLE SHOT.

In the play, the Atléti player was in front of the Brazilian goal, but as he was about to shoot, Botafogo's Barboza cleared the ball and it hit the Atlético number 19.

After the cooling break, the game resumes at the Rose Bowl. The score is currently tied at 0-0.

The game is stopped due to a dangerous collision between two players.                                         

The game is partially stopped so the players can cool down. It's the cooling-off break.

Earlier, Botafogo took a free kick that they managed to finish, but it ended up crashing into the side of the goal.

ATLÉTICO DE MADRID 49%

BOTAFOGO F.R. 51%

A collective attacking move by Atléti. The Brazilians' passes in the middle of the pitch land at the feet of Pablo Barrios, who shoots with his right foot. But the shot is very weak and the Botafogo goalkeeper easily blocks the ball.

ATLÉTI ARRIVED

Conor Gallagher received a pass in the Botafogo penalty area, went for the goal with his left foot, and the ball went high. He missed the opportunity to score first for Atlético Madrid.

ONE MORE FOR BOTAFOGO

Artur received the ball on the edge of the Spanish penalty area and shot with his left foot, but the ball went wide for the corner in favor of the Brazilians.

Botafogo were far superior in the first half.

Atlético Madrid's Alexander Sørloth attempted a left-footed shot from the center of the box, but it ended in vain. Atlético constantly tried to mount counterattacks, but they were ineffective.

Botafogo found themselves at ease on several occasions.

BOTAFOGO'S FIRST ONE ALMOST CAME!

Jefferson Savarino found himself in a comfortable scoring position. He faced the Spanish team's goalkeeper, shot with his right foot, and Oblak won the duel. Atlético were saved.

Robin Le Normand fouls Atlético de Madrid in an attempt to defend. Botafogo's Igor Jesus wins a free kick in the defensive half. The indirect free kick is awarded to the 'colchoneros'.                                

The match is a back-and-forth affair. Although Botafogo looks for greater attacking projection, Atlético de Madrid waits in its defensive block to steal the ball and win a defensive/attack transition.

Scoreless.

Botafogo approaches the red-and-white goal in search of the first goal. For the moment, possession belongs to the Brazilians.

Atlético de Madrid simply waits and defends, without proposing anything offensively.

Botafogo defeated the American team in their debut and pulled off a stunning upset against the Champions League champions.

The predictions for Atlético Madrid vs. Botafogo for the Club World Cup show Colchoneros must win. And that pressure tends to transform the game itself, now with more responsibility in search of the result the Spaniards so desperately need.
