🔗 Share this article PSG Overcomes Olympique de Marseille in a Shootout to Claim French Super Cup in Kuwait. PSG has now claimed the season-opening trophy on 14 separate times. Paris Saint-Germain needed a stoppage-time equaliser followed by a perfect spot-kick decider to overcome their arch-rivals in the Gulf and capture a record-extending fourth consecutive Trophee des Champions victory. The European champions seemed to be coasting towards a comfortable win in the showdown between the French league winners and the Coupe de France winners after Ousmane Dembele found the scoring early on. However, Marseille fired two times in the closing moments to seize a shock advantage. Initially, the English forward converted from the penalty spot, before Willian Pacho unfortunately directed the ball into his own net for an own-goal. In a breathtaking twist of fortune, Goncalo Ramos grabbed a crucial leveler in the dying seconds to send the match into a deciding shootout. The Parisian shot-stopper Lucas Chevalier then emerged as the hero, stopping decisive attempts from O'Riley and Traore. In the shootout, Goncalo Ramos, Vitinha, Nuno Mendes, and the young talent all converted successfully for Paris Saint-Germain to complete a convincing penalty win. The record champions Paris Saint-Germain, who met last season's Ligue 1 second-placed team Marseille after completing a league and cup double, have now won this trophy for the twelfth time in the last thirteen years.
