The match, held in Atlanta, kept spectators and football analysts on the edge of their seats.

On the 78th minute, Draxler set the tone by netting the opening goal with a driven shot past Bayern's goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer. This goal shifted the momentum, and shortly after, the referee Anthony Taylor issued two red cards to PSG players — Pacho and Fernandes — for fouls and dissent. Despite being down to nine players, the French team managed to extend their lead when Hakimi executed an impressive solo run and provided an assist to Dembele, who fired into the net in stoppage time, sealing the 2-0 victory. Notably, Bayern’s Upamecano and Kane scored but were flagged offside by the officials. This victory propels PSG into the semifinals, where they will face the winner of the encounter between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.
