**PSG Stun Bayern Munich in Club World Cup Quarter-Final Thriller**

**Atlanta, GA** – Paris Saint-Germain secured a dramatic 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich in a Club World Cup quarter-final clash marked by relentless intensity and late drama. Despite being two players down, PSG sealed their passage to the semi-finals with a stoppage-time goal from Ousmane Dembélé, adding to Désiré Doué’s earlier strike.

The match was a breathless encounter from the opening whistle, characterized by rapid transitions and near misses. Both teams traded blows in what Bayern coach Vincent Kompany described as a meeting of “extreme principles.” Key moments included a series of saves from both goalkeepers, Manuel Neuer and Gianluigi Donnarumma, and near misses from both sides.

The game took a sour turn just before halftime when Donnarumma’s challenge resulted in a suspected broken ankle for Bayern’s Jamal Musiala, casting a shadow over the otherwise enthralling contest.

Despite Bayern’s pressure and a disallowed goal, PSG held firm. The deadlock was broken in the 78th minute by Doué, capitalizing on a Neuer slip. The final minutes saw a flurry of cards, including red cards for PSG’s Pacho and Bayern’s Hernández. Even with the score 2-0, Bayern pressed on and thought they had a penalty but it was deemed not to be by the referee.

Dembélé’s late goal finally sealed the win for PSG, sending them to the semi-finals and leaving Bayern to rue missed chances and the unfortunate injury to Musiala. PSG now advance to the semi-finals in New York.
