The European champions win Group B and will play the runners-up of Group A - which is likely to be Palmeiras or Inter Miami.

Their opening goal had a hint of fortune to it with Vitinha's 20-yard first-time drive heading off target before hitting Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on the back and going in.

They added a second on the counter with Achraf Hakimi slamming in from Bradley Barcola's pass.

PSG deserved their victory in Seattle with Desire Doue forcing three stops from Sounders keeper Stefan Frei.

The hosts' best chance came when Gianluigi Donnarumma gave the ball straight to Jesus Ferreira, who shot over from a tight angle.

What was the main talking point?

Could PSG bounce back from their defeat by Botafogo last time was the main question. They had won six in a row, including the Champions League final against Inter Milan, before that loss.

The answer was yes. The French side were far from their best but they were good enough to beat their Major League Soccer hosts.

They are now four games away from adding a first world title to their maiden European one - and they still have striker Ousmane Dembele to come back from injury.
