Defeating Sevilla, Man City won the European Super Cup 2
(Dan Tri) – Man City won the penalty shootout after drawing 1-1 in regular time with Sevilla, thereby winning the European Super Cup for the first time.
Man City won their fourth trophy in 2023 after defeating Sevilla in the European Super Cup match, a match held between the Champions League and Europa League champions.
10 days ago, Man City was unlucky and could not win the 4th trophy when they were suddenly equalized by Arsenal in extra time in the English Super Cup match, then they lost in the penalty shootout.

After the opening whistle, Man City controlled the match and had opportunities to hit the opponent’s goal.
Man City’s expensive rookie Gravdiol did not do a good job of marking people when he let the Sevilla striker pressure him and head in the center of the penalty area to score.
After the loss, Man City tried to increase the pressure to find an equalizing goal, but they encountered many difficulties due to Sevilla’s tight defensive play.

In the 50th minute, Sevilla counterattacked quickly. His teammates gave En Nesyri a great opportunity when he passed the ball smoothly so he could finish at the top of the penalty area. Only Ederson was left in front of him. Unfortunately, Sevilla’s striker shot the ball.
The counter-attack opportunities were not taken advantage of by Sevilla and they had to pay the price in the 63rd minute. Rodri hooked the ball so Palmer could escape and head it from 5 meters away, near the right post. The ball went diagonally, leaving goalkeeper Bounou unable to stop it.
Bringing the match back to the starting line, Man City regained comfort in their playing style.
After 90 minutes of a 1-1 draw, the two teams had a penalty shootout.
