UDINE, Italy \u2014 Paris Saint-Germain beat Tottenham 4-3 on penalties to win the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday, completing a remarkable rally after scoring two late goals to take the match to a shootout.<\/p>\n
It secured a fifth trophy of 2025 for the French club.<\/p>\n
Lee Kang-in scored in the 85th for PSG and fellow substitute Gon\u00e7alo Ramos grabbed an equalizer in the fourth minute of stoppage time to make it 2-2 in regulation.<\/p>\n
Nuno Mendes converted the clinching penalty in the shootout for PSG.<\/p>\n
The Super Cup is an annual early-season match between the most recent\u00a0winners of the Champions League\u00a0(PSG) and Europa League (Tottenham), and it was hardly going to script when the English club took a 2-0 lead early in the second half.<\/p>\n
Defenders popped up with Spurs\u2019 goals, with Micky van de Ven showing quick reactions to prod home the opener in the 39th minute after new PSG goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier tipped Jo\u00e3o Palhinha\u2019s shot onto the crossbar.<\/p>\n
Chevalier \u2014 playing ahead of Gianluigi Donnarumma, who\u00a0announced Tuesday he was leaving PSG\u00a0\u2014 might have been unlucky with the first goal but was to blame for the second after failing to keep out a header from newly appointed Tottenham captain Cristian Romero in the 48th.<\/p>\n
Tottenham is further along in its preparations for the new campaign than PSG, whose players have only just returned to training after being involved in the Club World Cup until mid-July, and looked much sharper at Stadio Friuli.<\/p>\n
PSG finished strongly, though, and hit Tottenham with late goals as Lee smashed in a low shot from the edge of the area and Ramos headed home Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9’s right-wing cross.<\/p>\n
In the shootout, Vitinha missed PSG’s first attempt but the French team then converted four in a row. Van de Ven and Mathys Tel failed to score for Tottenham, whose manager, Thomas Frank, was taking charge of his first competitive match with the Premier League team.<\/p>\n
Frank took over in the offseason following the firing of Ange Postecoglou, who led Tottenham to its first trophy in 17 years with a victory over Manchester United in the\u00a0Europa League final\u00a0in May.<\/p>\n
PSG completed the Champions League-Ligue 1-Coupe de France treble last season, also winning the Troph\u00e9e des Champions in January. The team lost the Club World Cup final\u00a0to Chelsea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UDINE, Italy \u2014 Paris Saint-Germain beat Tottenham 4-3 on penalties to win the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":67506,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-67505","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-soccer","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67505"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67505\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
