PSG beats Flamengo to win FIFA Intercontinental Cup through penalty shootout
DOHA, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- Goalkeeper Matvei Safonov saved four penalties as Paris Saint-Germain edged Flamengo in a shootout to win the FIFA Intercontinental Cup on Wednesday.
The sides were meeting for the first time in a FIFA event, and PSG thought it had taken an early lead when Fabian Ruiz finished after nine minutes, only for the effort to be ruled out because the ball had gone out of play in the buildup.
