Manchester City writes history and wins the European Super Cup trophy for the first time. The match played at the "Georgios Karaiskakis" stadium in Athens was decided by the "roulette" of penalties, after the 90 minutes of regular time of this super challenge ended in a 1-1 draw.
En Nesiri put the Andalusians ahead with the goal scored in the 25th minute of the match. Markos Akunja gave an assist to En Nesiri, but the latter rose up and sent the ball into the bottom left corner, giving his team the lead.
In the 63rd minute, City equalized. The talented Palmer found the back of the net with a header after Rodri's perfect assist.
Despite all attempts by Manchester City to close out the match in 90 minutes, the challenge went to penalties, based on the new UEFA regulation, which has removed extra time.
The first four penalties were scored by both Sevilla and Manchester City, as the mistake could have come in Guardiola's men's fifth penalty, with Kyle Walker after his ball was intercepted but failed to be held by Bonu.
With the pressure on his shoulders, it was Gudelj who was unlucky and his shot went wide of the bar, with Ederson beaten to give Manchester City their first success in the competition.
Pep Guardiola thus equals Carlo Ancelotti in winning European Super Cups, 2 times with Barcelona, 1 time with Bayern Munich and once with Manchester City.
