The winners of the Champions League dominated possession throughout the possession but could not find a path.
The goal came in the 36th minute when Jefferson Savarino slipped a pass for Igor Jesus to go.

Jesus exceeded two defenders and his shot died Willian Pacho, leaving goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma flat and capable of watching the ball jump in the net.
Jesus celebrated by jumping over the barrier and was assaulted by delusional Botafogo fans.
PSG, which had scored 19 goals in its last five games, had the ball in the net in the 79th minute, but the goal was withdrawn for offside and Botafogo held for the shock victory.
Brazilians have become the first team to stop the PSG score since March, when Liverpool defeated them 1-0 in the Champions League. The French part had scored in 19 consecutive games.
Botafogo coach Renato Paiva said his team had beaten PSG in their own match.
“Being a big team, playing together, all the guys who defend, all the guys attacking, and it is the big secret of this PSG team, which is why they compete and win,” he said.
“It’s a fantastic team. I said that, PSG is a lesson for everyone these days in football. And I said to my guys, just be a team, enjoy playing together, attacking together, defending together and enjoying. And they did it.” Fantastic. “
We were all where this fan is 😅

The victory gives the South American champions a huge boost in their hopes to go to the towers with direct elimination after having beat the MLS Seattle Sounders 2-1 side in their first match.
PSG, which beat Atletico Madrid 4-0 in its first game, will try to bounce against the Sounders on Monday while Botafogo is back to Rose Bowl to face Atletico on the same day.
The four Brazil teams at the 32 club tournament are undefeated so far and Paiva has said that it showed the strength of the game in the South American nation.
“I think it is the quality of Brazilian players, the quality of what people do in Brazil, especially coaches,” he said.
“Brazil will still be in Brazil in world football.”
