Paris Saint-Germain booked their spot in the FIFA Club World Cup semifinals after a 2-0 victory against Bayern Munich despite going down to nine men late.
Desire Doue and Ousmane Dembele found the back of the net while Willian Pacho and substitute Lucas Hernandez were sent off for the European champions at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.
The game remained scoreless until PSG winger Doue found the breakthrough in the 78th minute, wrongfooting Manuel Neuer at the near post.
The French club were then reduced to nine men, as defensive duo Pacho and Hernandez each received straight red cards within the space of 10 minutes.
Despite a numerical disadvantage, Dembele wrapped the game up with PSG’s second goal in stoppage time, though Bayern had a penalty disallowed by VAR in the final minutes of the match.
There was a horror injury to Bayern Munich attacker Jamal Musiala after his leg got stuck underneath goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma’s body.
The 22-year-old Musiala’s left ankle seemed to be fully twisted, indicating a possible broken leg/ankle and maybe more.
PSG will face either Spanish club Real Madrid or German outfit Borussia Dortmund in Wednesday’s semi-final.
