🎥 PSG dominate, 4-0 over Atletico: referee explains OFR🎤 Sorloth blunder 😱 | OneFootball

In Pasadena, Paris Saint-Germain imposed its overwhelming rhythm also in the Club World Cup, handing out a clear 4-0 to Atletico Madrid on the first day of the group stage.

The match opens with a show in full American style: the players enter the field one at a time, announced by the speaker, while in the California sky a celebratory aerial message appears for PSG, the fresh European champion.

PSG kicks off in a symbolic way, repeating the same gesture as in the Champions League final against Inter: Vitinha shoots the ball into a sideline foul.

The Parisians dominate possession and at 19' take the lead with a combination between two former Napoli players: Kvaratskhelia serves Fabian Ruiz, who with a precise but not powerful left-footed shot signs the 1-0.

In the final minutes of the first half, Atletico comes close to equalizing with Griezmann, but Donnarumma saves and starts a lightning-fast counterattack: Vitinha takes the ball in the middle of the field, moves to the center, and beats Oblak with a great left-footed shot at 47'.

PSG deservedly leads, Atletico trails 2-0 at halftime.

With Vitinha's goal, PSG sets a new record, surpassing Barcelona: it is the team with the most goals in the calendar year 2025.

Curiously, at the start of the second half, Atletico restarts and emulates PSG with a direct launch into a sideline foul from the kickoff.

Then the goalkeepers become protagonists: at 50' Donnarumma ventures into a dribbling move on Julian Alvarez that fortunately goes well, while in the other penalty area Kvaratskhelia unleashes a very powerful right-footed shot that finds an incredible save by Oblak.

Atletico Madrid tries to get back into the game by halving the deficit with Julian Alvarez's goal, but the VAR calls the referee to the OFR and the goal is disallowed.

The referee explains the decision to the entire stadium: Koke's foul on Doué and the goal is disallowed. It's a historic moment: it's the first time this has happened in an international competition.

At 78' Atletico Madrid is left with ten men: second yellow card for Lenglet, who leaves Simeone's Colchoneros at a numerical disadvantage.

The former Barcelona player is the first to be expelled in this Club World Cup.

Despite the numerical disadvantage, Atletico has a colossal chance to reopen the match.

Sorloth, with an open goal, incredibly sends the ball over the crossbar from just a few centimeters away. And Simeone despairs on the bench.

PSG closes the match in the final minutes with Maluku's goal, who takes advantage of a mess in Atletico Madrid's defense and shoots strongly with his right foot into the corner, and Lee Kang In's penalty, who converts the maximum penalty after a handball and the penalty conceded following the OFR.

Once again, the referee explains the decision: "Increased body volume".

It's the last excitement of the match: the European champions also confirm themselves in the USA, PSG overwhelms Atletico Madrid with a clear 4-0 and conquers the first three points.
