The match for the French Super Cup in Kuwait became a real thriller. The French championship and cup winners, PSG, faced the country's vice-champions, Marseille, and "tested their nerves" until the end of the game.
Early in the match, the Parisians increased their pace. In the 13th minute, Ousmane Dembélé opened the scoring, securing an early lead for PSG. Even after this, PSG tried to control the game, but Marseille didn't give up - Roberto De Zerbi's team returned to the field in a completely different mood in the second half.
Marseille Comeback and Approximation to Win
In the 76th minute, Mason Greenwood scored a penalty, equalizing the score - 1:1. Shortly after, in the 87th minute, a dramatic episode occurred: Pacho scored an own goal, putting Marseille ahead - 1:2.
At that moment, Marseille was very close to a decisive victory. But football is like this: until the last whistle, there's no such thing as "that's it."
90+5: Ramush on Stage
The Parisians put all their effort into the attack at the last minute. And in the 90+5th minute, Gonzalo Ramush scored - 2:2! This goal led PSG to a penalty shootout and turned the game into a "lottery."
Shevale in penalties - a decisive factor
PSG prevailed 4-1 in the penalty shootout. One of the main characters here is Chevalier: he made two saves, opening the door to another trophy for Luis Enrique's team.
Thus, PSG won the national Super Cup for the 14th time in their history - a dramatic scenario in the final and a victory in the final, a "fight to the end" characteristic of Parisians.
