PSG Edges Olympique de Marseille on Penalties to Secure French Super Cup in Kuwait.
The Parisian club has now claimed the season-opening trophy on fourteen separate occasions.
The Parisian giants required a dramatic leveler followed by a successful spot-kick decider to get past their arch-rivals in Kuwait and capture a fourth straight French Super Cup title.
The Champions League holders appeared to be sailing towards a comfortable triumph in the match between the French league winners and the French Cup winners after Ousmane Dembele found the scoring in the opening stages.
Yet, the southern French side struck two times in the closing moments to take a shock lead. Initially, the English forward scored from the spot-kick, before Willian Pacho unfortunately turned the ball into his own net for an own goal.
In a breathtaking turn of fortune, Goncalo Ramos snatched a crucial equaliser in the final seconds to force the contest into a deciding shootout. The Parisian shot-stopper Chevalier then stood as the hero, saving decisive attempts from O'Riley and Hamed Traore.
From the spot, Ramos, the midfielder, Nuno Mendes, and Desire Doue all converted with composure for Paris Saint-Germain to seal a convincing penalty victory.
The record winners PSG, who faced last season's Ligue 1 runners-up Olympique de Marseille after completing a league and cup double, have now won this competition for the twelfth time in the last thirteen years.
