🔗 Share this article Paris Saint-Germain Defeats Marseille via Spot-Kicks to Secure French Super Cup in Kuwait. PSG has now claimed the season-opening trophy on 14 different times. The Parisian giants needed a dramatic equaliser followed by a successful penalty shootout to get past Marseille in Kuwait and secure a fourth straight Trophee des Champions victory. The European champions appeared to be sailing towards a straightforward win in the match featuring the French league champions and the French Cup holders after the French winger opened the net early on. Yet, Marseille fired twice late to seize a shock lead. 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, the Portuguese striker snatched a vital leveler in the final moments to send the contest into a deciding shootout. The Parisian shot-stopper Chevalier then stood as the hero, saving crucial kicks from Matt O'Riley and Hamed Traore. From the spot, Goncalo Ramos, Vitinha, the full-back, and Desire Doue all converted with composure for Paris Saint-Germain to complete a convincing penalty victory. The record champions Paris Saint-Germain, who faced last season's Ligue 1 runners-up Olympique de Marseille after achieving a domestic double, have now lifted this trophy for the twelfth time in the last 13 seasons.
