Paris Saint-Germain Defeats Marseille via Spot-Kicks to Lift French Super Cup in Kuwait.
The Parisian club has now claimed the prestigious cup on fourteen different occasions.
The Parisian giants required a dramatic leveler followed by a successful spot-kick decider to overcome their arch-rivals in Kuwait and secure a fourth straight French Super Cup title.
The Champions League holders appeared to be coasting towards a comfortable win in the showdown featuring the French league champions and the Coupe de France holders after Ousmane Dembele opened the net in the opening stages.
Yet, the southern French side fired twice in the closing moments to take a shock advantage. Initially, Mason Greenwood scored from the penalty spot, before Willian Pacho unfortunately directed the ball into his own net for an own-goal.
In a breathtaking turn of fortune, the Portuguese striker grabbed a vital leveler in the final moments to send the contest into a deciding shootout. PSG goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier then stood as the hero, stopping decisive attempts from Matt O'Riley and Hamed Traore.
In the shootout, Ramos, Vitinha, the full-back, and Desire Doue all scored with composure for Paris Saint-Germain to complete a convincing penalty victory.
Now 14-time champions PSG, who met last season's Ligue 1 runners-up Marseille after achieving a domestic double, have now lifted this trophy for the twelfth time in the last 13 years.
