Manchester City can thus lift their first trophy of the season. But it didn’t happen without drama. The whole thing had to be decided by a penalty shootout. SURE: Haaland was ice cold when he scored City’s first penalty.

City thus won the final. – City were in trouble at the start of the 2nd half when they were 1-0 down and Sevilla had great opportunities on the counterattack. Then City took over more towards the end of the match and seemed to be the better team, says TV 2 expert Jesper Mathisen. Strike back The feat gives Pep Guardiola and Manchester City another trophy to add to their collection. City won the Champions League final against Inter earlier this year. – I must say I was a little surprised when I saw the joy of the City players. Because it was a match with a slightly lower tempo than we are used to. But once they win the penalty shootout it is clear that it still means something to be able to lift this trophy, says football expert Yaw Ihle Amankwah in TV 2’s studio. For a long time, little voted for both Haaland and Manchester City in the Super Cup final against Sevilla. After the hour played, the reigning Champions League winners would still fight back. EQUALIZED: Cole Palmer. Photo: STOYAN NENOV / Reuters Sevilla led at half-time, but Cole Palmer equalized at 1-1. It was also the final result in normal time and the whole thing therefore had to be decided by a penalty shootout. Dream start The Super Cup is played every year, where the Champions League winner meets the Europa League winner. This was Manchester City’s first Super Cup final. Sevilla, on the other hand, have been in it several times after repeated success in the Europa League. TAKE THE LEAD: En-Nesyri put Sevilla in the lead. Photo: STOYAN NENOV / Reuters Sevilla got off to a flying start in the match when Youssef En-Nesyri put the Spanish team in the lead 25 minutes into the match. The same man also had several opportunities to increase the lead for Sevilla later in the match, but it didn’t work out for the striker. After Palmer’s equaliser, it was mostly about Manchester City, with the exception of some Sevilla dangers. Pep Guardiola’s men came close to breaking the deadlock just before the end, but failed. However, they did so from the penalty spot.
