Paris Saint-Germain Edges Marseille in a Shootout to Lift French Super Cup in the Middle East.
PSG has now secured the prestigious trophy on fourteen different times.
Paris Saint-Germain needed a dramatic leveler followed by a successful spot-kick decider to overcome their arch-rivals in Kuwait and capture a fourth straight Trophee des Champions victory.
The European champions seemed to be sailing towards a comfortable triumph in the match between the French league champions and the French Cup winners after Ousmane Dembele found the net in the opening stages.
Yet, the southern French side struck twice in the closing moments to take a shock lead. Initially, the English forward converted from the spot-kick, before the defender unfortunately turned the ball into his own net for an own-goal.
In a remarkable turn of fortune, the Portuguese striker snatched a vital leveler in the final moments to send the match into a penalty shootout. PSG goalkeeper Chevalier then stood as the hero, stopping crucial attempts from O'Riley and Hamed Traore.
From the spot, Ramos, the midfielder, Nuno Mendes, and the young talent all scored with composure for PSG to complete a 4-1 shootout win.
The record champions PSG, who met last season's Ligue 1 runners-up Marseille after achieving a league and cup double, have now won this competition for the 12th time in the past thirteen years.
