🔗 Share this article Paris Saint-Germain Defeats Marseille via Spot-Kicks to Claim French Super Cup in the Middle East. PSG has now claimed the season-opening cup on 14 separate times. The Parisian giants required a dramatic equaliser followed by a successful penalty shootout to get past their arch-rivals in the Gulf and capture a fourth straight Trophee des Champions victory. The Champions League holders appeared to be coasting towards a straightforward triumph in the showdown featuring the Ligue 1 champions and the French Cup holders after Ousmane Dembele found the scoring in the opening stages. Yet, the southern French side struck twice in the closing moments to take a shock advantage. First, the English forward scored from the spot-kick, before the defender inadvertently directed the ball into his own net for an own-goal. In a breathtaking turn of fortune, Goncalo Ramos snatched a vital equaliser in the dying seconds to send the contest into a penalty shootout. PSG goalkeeper Chevalier then emerged as the hero, saving decisive kicks from O'Riley and Traore. From the spot, Goncalo Ramos, the midfielder, Nuno Mendes, and Desire Doue all scored successfully for Paris Saint-Germain to seal a convincing penalty win. The record winners Paris Saint-Germain, who met last season's Ligue 1 second-placed team Olympique de Marseille after achieving a domestic double, have now won this trophy for the twelfth time in the last 13 seasons.
