PSG 2-0 Bayern Munich Highlights, FIFA Club World Cup Quarter-Final: Dembele Powers Nine-Man Parisians Into Last Four

Greetings and welcome to everyone joining this weekend. We have a potential cracker on our hands, as the world-beating Paris Saint-Germain take on German heavyweights Bayern Munich in Atlanta for a place in the FIFA Club World Cup semi-finals. Stay with us for the build-up and live updates from the encounter.

The match will kick off at 9:30pm IST. The Paris Saint-Germain vs Bayern Munich, FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final clash will be live streamed for free on the DAZN platform in India. It will not be telecast on any TV channel in the country.

Paris Saint-Germain lost their last group game 1–0 to Brazilian club Botafogo, but advanced with earlier wins against Atletico Madrid and Seattle Sounders. A face-off with their former star Lionel Messi beckoned in the round of 16, where Luis Enrique's men thrashed Inter Miami 4-0 as Joao Neves scored twice.

Talismanic forward Harry Kane starts for Bayern Munich and so does Musiala. Here is the Bavarians' line-up:

Paris Saint-Germain are going with the same starting XI that bashed Inter Miami 4-0 in the round of 16. Here's their line-up:

The Bavarians opened with a 10-0 walloping of New Zealand side Auckland City, before sealing their knockout berth with a 2-1 win against Argentina’s Boca Juniors. Benfica stunned Bayern with a 1-0 win in the last group-stage match, which left the Munich-based side to meet Flamengo in the round of 16. Bayern raced into an early two-goal lead before emerging 4-2 victors with a Harry Kane brace.

Play gets underway at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. PSG attacking from left to right and Bayern Munich from right to left in the first half.

The Parisians earn the first opening of the match. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia sets it up for Desire Doue, who nears the box and shoots but his attempt goes to the right of goal.

This has not been an explosive start in terms of shots on goal and chances for either side. The first 15 minutes were more of a technical battle with the midfielders working overtime. In the last five minutes, though, it's opened up, with both PSG and Bayern coming close to scoring. No goal in the first 27 minutes.

Huge chance for Bayern in the 39th minute! Kingsley Coma comes up with a skillful run on the left flank before crossing it in for star striker Harry Kane, whose header flies just above the PSG goal from close range.

There almost is a stoppage-time goal towards the end of the first half to spice up the game, but the assistant referee raises the flag for offside. Dayot Upamecano's header into the net off Michael Olise's free-kick won't count, and we are goalless at the end of the first period.

The second half gets underway in Atlanta. Jamal Musiala had suffered a terrible-looking injury before the first half ended and he has been substituted by Serge Gnabry.

Manuel Neuer pulls off a stunning save to deny Bradley Barcola early in the second half. The Bayern goalie makes himself big and dives to his left to keep the scoreline at 0-0.

Ousmane Dembele finally comes on for PSG, replacing Bradley Barcola in the 70th minute. Meanwhile, Konrad Laimer is shown the first yellow card of the game, booked for a high boot on Desire Doue. In case Bayern Munich do win tonight, Laimer will miss the semi-final owing to an earlier yellow.

The French and Champions League victors go ahead! It's Desire Doue who supplies the breakthrough in the 78th minute and Paris Saint-Germain go ahead with hardly 10 minutes left on the clock.

Harry Kane puts the ball in the back of the net, seemingly for an equaliser, but the flag goes up immediately for offside. The replays confirm the assistant referee's decision and Bayern still trail with the minutes ticking by.

Drama in Atlanta! After Willian Pacho was shown the red card in the 82nd minute for an ill-advised challenge on Leon Goretzka, Lucas Hernandez is also sent off in stoppage time for putting an elbow on the face of Raphael Guerreiro. PSG are down to nine men with a 1-0 lead to defend in the dying minutes.

Ousmane Dembele! The star PSG forward has incredibly found a way to double the Parisians' advantage despite having just nine men on the pitch. Achraf Hakimi sets it up beautifully for Dembele, who drives it in from his right foot. The Ligue 1 holders go 2-0 up with six minutes of added time done.

Could the ending have been more dramatic?! Bayern win a penalty in the absolute fag end of stoppage time, but PSG protest vehemently and a VAR check ensues. Nuno Mendes had a high boot close to Thomas Muller's head in the box, but VAR rules that there was no contact and the penalty is overturned.

The full-time whistle finally blows and Luis Enrique's men are through to the Club World Cup semi-finals with a roller-coaster 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich.

While Harry Kane and Bayern Munich's Club World Cup campaign ends here, the red-hot Paris Saint-Germain are into the last four. They will take on the winner of the clash between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, which kicks off at 1:30am IST, on July 10 in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
