Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Matvey Safonov saved four penalties in the shootout against Flamengo on Wednesday night to propel his side to their first Fifa Intercontinental Cup and their sixth trophy of 2025.
The 26-year-old Russian, who played despite the return to fitness of the France international goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, conceded the first penalty but then saved the next three to set up Bradley Barcola with the strike to win the title for the European champions against their South American counterparts.
