Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring in the 35th minute, with his shot deflecting off a Seattle defender into the net. Achraf Hakimi added a second in the 66th minute, finishing off a precise assist from substitute Bradley Barcola.
While Seattle started brightly and earned a couple of early corners, they struggled to convert their momentum into clear chances. PSG gradually took control, dictating possession and launching threatening counterattacks as the match progressed.
Manager Luis Enrique praised his team’s performance, noting the difficulty of adapting to pitch conditions unfamiliar to European players. Seattle coach Brian Schmetzer acknowledged his team’s effort but admitted PSG’s quality was ultimately the difference.
With this result, PSG concluded the group stage with six points from three matches and will face the runners-up from Group A in the Round of 16 in Atlanta later this week. Seattle, meanwhile, exits the tournament without a win on home soil.
PSG’s performance reflected their tactical discipline and sharp execution, with Kvaratskhelia and Hakimi delivering in key moments. The win further strengthens their credentials as serious contenders for the title.
