In the early morning of June 24, Atletico Madrid faced Botafogo in the final match of Group B - FIFA Club World Cup 2025TM. This is a match that coach Diego Simeone and his team must win, even a big win, to keep their hopes of advancing to the knockout round alive.
In the first half, Botafogo surprisingly played more proactively, boldly holding the ball and launching many notable attacks. Meanwhile, Atletico, after a shaky first half, had some good chances. Gallagher and Alvarez both had chances to score, but the first half still ended in a 0-0 draw.

In the second half, Atletico Madrid pushed their formation up high and put great pressure on Botafogo's goal. On the other side of the front line, the Brazilian representative proactively retreated to play defensively and was ready to counterattack in Atletico's weak situations.
After many attempts by their opponents to besiege the goal, Atletico finally enjoyed joy in the 87th minute. Alvarez dribbled hard on the left wing and then sent a cross into the penalty area for Griezmann to finish with a delicate one-touch shot into the Botafogo net, opening the score of the match.
