As joyous as soccer’s great moments can be, the sport often spends the rest of the time requiring its devotees to suffer. On Saturday, in the first game of the Club World Cup’s knockout rounds, Palmeiras had to do a lot of suffering.

An extra time goal from substitute Paulinho gave Palmeiras both a spot in the Club World Cup quarter-finals and their first victory against Botafogo since 2023 after a 1-0 win at Lincoln Financial

Paulinho worked his way between a pair of defenders and rolled a shot into the back of the net in extra time to put Palmeiras into the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup with a 1-0 victory over Brazilian league rival Botafogo.
