FATHER'S DAY IN ROSEMEAD, CA -- Well, a dumb push by B4-Seattle Sounders gave B3-Botafogo a dangerous free kick which they capitalized on to break a 0-0 tie. #423 SEA nearly tied the match in the final seconds but #58 BOT came away with a 2-1 win in Seattle. While MLS teams have played tough, neither A4-Inter Miami nor SEA came away with 3 points and they will only face better teams in their next two group matches.
In the battle between the #2 team in the world and a team of semi-pros and amateurs, C1-Bayern Munich jumped to a 6-0 halftime lead before winning 10-0 over OFC's lone rep, C2-Auckland City. Jamal Musiala had a hat trick in 23 minutes in the second half. The #1 team in the world B1-Paris Saint-Germain continued to roll blasting another top 10 team, B2-Atletico Madrid, 4-0. PSG were coming off their UEFA Champions League's 5-0 rout over #6 Inter Milan.In another evenly matched game, #24 A1-Palmeiras and #47 A2- FC Porto battled to a 0-0 tie. All four Group A teams are scoreless and tied with 1 point each.
