The game ended 1-1 after regular time with goals from En-Nesyri in the first half and Palmer in the second half
The European Super Cup goes to Manchester City who beat Sevilla 6-5 after penalties in the Hellenic setting of the Karaiskakis stadium in Piraeus. Guardiola’s team won yet another trophy, but suffering more than usual. For the Spaniards who won the Europa League, Gudelj’s mistake from the penalty spot was decisive (in the negative), as he printed his shot on the crossbar. A mistake that sent Guardiola’s team into ecstasy, which had won the Champions League in June against Inter.

In regulation time the match had finished 1-1: En-Nesyri’s header goal for Sevilla in the 25th minute had been answered by Palmer in the 63rd minute, again with a header.
The first was the author of an incredible detachment, he jumped higher than anyone and managed to give the ball the right strength to make that conclusion unstoppable; the second instead impacted the ball after entering the space with the right timing (Rodri’s cross was for Haaland, at least in intention) and overtaking Bono with a lob of header towards the far post.
Practically the whole match was marked by a clear leitmotif: the English in attack with the Spanish ready to strike on the counterattack. Sevilla’s defense was unlikely to be caught unprepared, unlike that of City which on occasion suffered and accused the speed above all of Ocampos, always ready to look for En-Nesyri. For Manchester City the first European Super Cup in the club’s history, while the fourth in Guardiola’s personal bulletin board (ancelotti’s record being achieved). And the Citizens – after last season’s Treble – immediately conquered their first title of the season.
