Manchester City beat Sevilla on penalty kicks to win first-ever UEFA Super Cup

Manchester City have won the Super Cup. Gudelj hits the crossbar with his penalty kick and City win 5-4 on penalty kicks.

Manchester City captain Kyle Walker smashes a low penalty which isn’t great and Bono went the right way, but the ball squirms home. City lead 5-4.

The Argentina, who scored the winner in both the World Cup and Europa League penalty kick shootouts, makes no mistake from the spot this time. 4-4.

Grealish puts his penalty kick straight down the middle. City lead 4-3 on penalties.

Ederson went the right way but Rakitic but so much power on his penalty kick. Great spot kick from the Sevilla captain. 3-3.

The Croatian midfielder sends Bono the wrong way and it is 3-2 to Man City.

Rafa Mir comes straight off the bench and slots his penalty kick into the top corner.

What a penalty kick! Alvarez smashes it into the top corner to give City a 2-1 lead.

Ocampos sends Ederson the wrong way and it is 1-1.

The Norwegian sends Bono the wrong way and City lead 1-0 in the shootout.

It ends 1-1 between Manchester City and Sevilla in normal time and it goes straight to penalty kicks.

That was an intense 90 minutes as Sevilla held on in the end but the Spaniards also had chances to win it.

Moments after equalizing, City almost give up a goal.

Ederson bails his defense out as En-Nesyri is allowed to run clean through but City’s Brazilian goalkeeper saves his shot down low and smothers it.

Manchester City youngster Cole Palmer heads home a great cross from Rodri.

Palmer nods back across goal and it is a beautiful header from the academy product.

27 minutes to go, Manchester City 1-1 Sevilla. Game on!

Sevilla work it brilliantly on the counter and Ocamps finds En-Nesyri with a perfect pass and his clean through.

However, Ederson denies En-Nesyri with a good stop but the Morocco striker hit it straight at him. He has to do better there. That should have been 2-0 to Sevilla.

It is all City at the start of the second as they push for an equalizer.

Rodri is dictating the tempo of the game in midfield but Sevilla are sitting in and making it very tough for City.

This will be the pattern for the remainder of the second half.

After having a goal from Nathan Ake ruled out earlier on, City are continuing to press for an equalizer.

Foden and Grealish almost set up Haaland but he can’t quite finish.

Promising signs for the second half for City.

Sevilla are ahead!

That man En-Nesyri does it again in a big game.

What a header from Acuna’s cross.

The usual talents to look out for with Sevilla all start as Rakitic, Ocampos, Navas, Lamela and En-Nesyri are all in the lineup.

Goalkeeper Bono has been heavily linked with a move away to Saudi Arabia and this is set to be his final game for Sevilla.

Sevilla: Bono; Navas, Bade, Gudelj, Acuna; Jordan, Rakitic; Ocampos, Torres, Lamela; En-Nesyri.

Pep Guardiola hands Josko Gvardiol his full debut, while Mateo Kovacic, Jack Grealish and Cole Palmer also come into the starting lineup after the win at Burnley.

It will be intriguing to see how City cope without the injured Kevin de Bruyne.

Manchester City starting lineup: Ederson; Walker, Akanji, Gvardiol, Ake; Rodrigo, Kovacic, Foden; Palmer, Grealish, Haaland.

Sevilla is coming off a cagey Week 1 loss to Valencia in La Liga, as the joy of Youssef En-Nesyri’s 69th minute equalizer faded away due to a Loic Bade red card.

Gonzalo Montiel’s future with the club is in question, as he and Joan Jordan, Jesus Corona, and Papu Gomez were unused against Valencia.

En-Nesyri, Ivan Rakitic, and Bono are still the gate attractions here, and Sevilla will fancy its chances to surprise City with its typical tournament success (even if this ‘tournament’ is a one-game affair).

Pep Guardiola’s Man City started off their treble defense with a Community Shield loss to Arsenal in penalty kicks, but Week 1 of the Premier League season did not require the full 90 minutes.

Erling Haaland scored twice for City in their 3-0 beating of Burnley at Turf Moor, and the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup champs have the depth to compete with Sevilla while also being close to full force for a big weekend test from Newcastle United.

City won’t have Kevin De Bruyne for months following a flare-up of a hamstring injury that’s becoming a little notorious. Jack Grealish and Kalvin Phillips were rested versus Burnley, while the club is waiting on Ruben Dias (concussion) and John Stones (muscular).
