Man City 1-1 Sevilla (5-4 on penalties): European champions win first Super Cup after shootout success

European champions win first Super Cup after shootout

 a match report on Man City's historic Super Cup victory; Cole Palmer tied the score with a looping header in the second half after Youssef En-Nesyri gave Sevilla the lead with a powerful header in the first half. Nemanja Gudelj's failed crucial penalty kick for Sevilla prevented City from winning all five of its penalties.


Manchester City overcame a deficit during regulation time before defeating Sevilla on penalties to capture the Super Cup for the first time ever.


Youssef En-Nesyri's spectacular header gave City the rare chance to win a trophy that did not already bear their name, but they initially failed to respond to the occasion and fell behind.

The Sevilla forward was repeatedly denied by Ederson in the second half, and Cole Palmer made up for his carelessness by looping a header over Yassine Bounou to tie the score.
As the game neared its conclusion, City finally started to play better, and in stoppage time, Nathan Ake nearly gave City the victory when he forced a quick save from Bounou.

Nemanja Gudelj's missed crucial attempt in the shootout, which hit the crossbar and gave Pep Guardiola a record-tying fourth Super Cup, gave City the victory they so desperately needed.
