🔗 Share this article PSG Overcomes Marseille on Penalties to Lift French Super Cup in the Middle East. PSG has now claimed the prestigious trophy on fourteen separate occasions. The Parisian giants needed a dramatic equaliser followed by a perfect spot-kick decider to overcome Marseille in Kuwait and secure a fourth straight Trophee des Champions victory. The European champions seemed to be coasting towards a straightforward triumph in the match featuring the French league champions and the Coupe de France holders after the French winger opened the net in the opening stages. Yet, Marseille struck two times late to take a shock advantage. First, the English forward scored from the spot-kick, before the defender unfortunately turned the ball into his own net for an own goal. In a breathtaking turn of events, Goncalo Ramos grabbed a crucial equaliser in the dying seconds to send the contest into a penalty shootout. The Parisian shot-stopper Chevalier then stood as the key figure, saving decisive attempts from Matt O'Riley and Hamed Traore. In the shootout, Ramos, the midfielder, Nuno Mendes, and Desire Doue all scored with composure for Paris Saint-Germain to complete a 4-1 shootout win. The record winners PSG, who met last season's Ligue 1 runners-up Marseille after achieving a league and cup double, have now lifted this competition for the 12th time in the past thirteen seasons.
