PSG Defeats Olympique de Marseille on Penalties to Claim French Super Cup in the Middle East.
The Parisian club has now claimed the prestigious cup on 14 different times.
Paris Saint-Germain required a stoppage-time equaliser followed by a perfect spot-kick decider to get past their arch-rivals in the Gulf and secure a fourth straight French Super Cup victory.
The European champions seemed to be coasting towards a straightforward win in the showdown between the Ligue 1 winners and the Coupe de France winners after Ousmane Dembele found the scoring early on.
Yet, the southern French side fired twice in the closing moments to take a shock advantage. First, the English forward converted from the spot-kick, before the defender unfortunately turned the ball into his own net for an own goal.
In a breathtaking turn of fortune, the Portuguese striker grabbed a vital equaliser in the dying moments to force the contest into a penalty shootout. The Parisian shot-stopper Chevalier then emerged as the key figure, stopping crucial kicks from Matt O'Riley and Traore.
In the shootout, Ramos, Vitinha, the full-back, and Desire Doue all converted successfully for Paris Saint-Germain to complete a convincing penalty win.
The record champions Paris Saint-Germain, who met last season's Ligue 1 second-placed team Marseille after achieving a domestic double, have now lifted this competition for the twelfth time in the last 13 seasons.
