Paris Saint-Germain defeated Seattle Sounders to continue to the last 16 of the club World Cup, but Atletico Madrid hurt himself despite a late 1-0 win over Botafogo.
The European champions went in their last group B match with a risk of elimination after a shock loss for the Brazilian side, but goals from Kvicha Kvaratskhelia and Achraf Hakimi proved sufficient to surpass the group.
Atletico, 4-0 beaten by PSG in their opening match, had to win with three clear goals to make progress, but a late winner of replacement Antoine Griezmann was not enough and it was Botafogo who reached the next phase.
The progression of PSG was not without afraid, because Seattle started well in their own lumen stadium and a shock leader could have grabbed when Jesus Ferreira keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma almost punished for a rare mistake.
Kvaratskhelia was lucky to bend a vitinha effort in the net in the 35th minute and Hakimi added a second in the 66th minute at the end of a major attacking movement moments after Obed Vargas had come to be the same.
Atletico struggled to claim Botafogo with keeper Jan Oblak forced in good rescues to deny Jefferson Savarino and Igor Jesus.
Griezmann thought it was just in the 87th minute when he wiped the low cross of Julian Alvarez from left-hand home, but it was not enough and Botafogo will be confronted with Inter Miami in the next phase after the 2-2 draw of the Brazilian side.
Miami came close to the top of group B after goals from Tadeo Allende and Luis Suarez raised the MLS side 2-0.
But their hope was interrupted within a few minutes when Paulinho and Mauricio struck in the 80th and 87th minutes.

The draw meant that Miami was forced to settle for second place in the group, with the Lionel Messi side taking the former Veteran team in the next round.
A hat trick from Spits Wessam Ali was not enough for Al Ahly because a 4-4 draw with FC Porto ensured that both sides were eliminated.
After Al Ahly took a 2-1 lead in the break, a flurry of goals made the way early in the second period for an exciting finish at Metlife Stadium.
Ali took his third intermediate goals for William Gomes and Samu Aghehowa to bring the scores to 3-3, until Mohamed Romdhane found the back of the net in the 64th minute to put Ahly on the edge of the victory.
Pepe’s 89th minute goal prevented the Egyptian side from gaining the victory needed to get a chance to qualify.
