Manchester City won the 1st Supercup in its history, 2 months following its 1st coronation in the Champions League. Manuel Akanji and his teammates won 5-4 on penalties once morest Sevilla FC, which did not field Djibril Sow, in Athens.

Pep Guardiola and the Citizens reversed a compromised situation once morest the winner of the last Europa League. They can thank their Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson, author of two decisive parades on attempts by Youssef En-Nesyri, in the 50th while Sevilla was still leading 1-0 and in the 64th just following the 1-1.

Led in the score from the 25th following a successful header from En-Nesyri, Manchester City equalized once morest the run of play, on a goal scored with a header by Cole Palmer (63rd). This equalizer released the English champion, who flew over the debates in the last 30 minutes of play.

Clear on penalties for City

Yassine Bounou initially played the heroes in the Andalusian cage, Sevilla resisting until the end of regulation time. But the Moroccan did not manage to stop a single penalty in the fateful session, the last Sevillian shooter Nemanja Gudelj seeing his attempt hit the crossbar of Ederson’s goals.
