In the just-concluded second round match of Group B at the FIFA Club World Cup, South American side Botafogo secured a 1-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain.
So far in the tournament, the six South American teams have posted an impressive record of 5 wins and 3 draws in 8 matches, remaining undefeated. This marks the first time a South American team has defeated a European opponent at the Club World Cup (including previous formats) since Corinthians beat Chelsea in the 2012 final.
