Richardson opened the scoring courtesy of striker Karim Benzema, but Adams tied it up before halftime on a goal by Brazilian superstar Neymar.

PSG dominated the second half. Idrissa Gueye gave the Parisians the lead shortly before the hour mark, and then a pair of penalty-kick tallies by Neymar to complete his hat trick gave the 21-year-old New York native an insurmountable lead over his NBA counterpart.

Julian Draxler capped the scoring for Paris Saint-Germain.

Adams, who plays for RB Leipzig in the German Bundesliga at the club level, advances to the final for an opportunity to become the first holder of the B/R Football gaming belt.
