Joy presented by Citizens. Manchester City players beat Sevilla and won the UEFA Super Cup for the first time. After the 1:1 result, penalties were decided, which “Citizens” won 5:4.
The last winners of the Champions League turned their very first appearance into a Super Cup win. “Citizens” replaced Real Madrid on the throne. As champions of the Europa League, Sevilla’s footballers played for the traditional trophy for the seventh time, but they only succeeded in the first attempt in 2006.
Coach Pep Guardiola’s men partially made up for the disappointment of the battle for the English Super Cup, in which they also lost on penalties to London’s Arsenal last week.
Favored Manchester started with an onslaught, and goalkeeper Búnú had to shine in the first quarter of an hour when Aky’s header and Grealish’s attack. But Sevilla struck first. Acuňa crossed from the left side in front of the goal, the high ball found Nasírí’s header in the air and sent it into the net with the post. The Moroccan forward followed up on the goal from Friday’s opening round of the Spanish league once morest Valencia (1:2).

Nasírí might have added another strike in the 50th minute, but following Ocampos’ pass, he shot only goalkeeper Ederson himself in front of the goal. Manchester equalized in the 63rd minute. Palmer ran onto Rodri’s cross at the back post and headed it past Búnú. The 21-year-old English midfielder confirmed a successful start to the season, he also prevailed in the duel for the English Super Cup.

Despite the superiority of the favourites, regular time did not offer a goal and Sevilla did not lose for the first time in the fifth game once morest each other in UEFA competitions. After two years, the winner of the Super Cup had to be decided by penalty kicks once more, but no extra time was played.
Sevilla repeated the shootout from the Europa League final once morest AS Rome, but this time goalkeeper Búnú did not catch any of the opponent’s attempts. The closest he came was in the fifth set, when he caught Walker’s right-hand shot, but the City captain was lucky to get the ball into the net. On the contrary, Gudelj subsequently only hit the crossbar and Manchester City became the sixth English winner of the UEFA Super Cup.
