'Lucky' PSG stun Spurs late in UEFA Super Cup
Paris Saint-Germain have beaten Tottenham 4-3 on penalties to win the UEFA Super Cup, completing a remarkable rally after scoring two late goals to take the match to a shootout. It secured a fifth trophy of 2025 for the French club. Lee Kang-in scored in the 85th minute for PSG and fellow substitute Goncalo Ramos grabbed an equaliser in the fourth minute of added time to make it 2-2 in regulation on Wednesday night in Udine, Italy. Nuno Mendes converted the clinching penalty in the shootout. "Sometimes football is unfair," PSG coach Luis Enrique said. "I have to say we were very lucky in the last 10 minutes that we could score two goals ... My players had faith until the last minute, like our supporters." The Super Cup is an annual early-season match between the most recent winners of the Champions League (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. Defenders popped up with Spurs' 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 Joao Palhinha's shot onto the crossbar. Chevalier — playing ahead of Gianluigi Donnarumma, who announced on Tuesday he was leaving PSG — 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. PSG, who were involved in the Club World Cup until mid-July, finished strongly at Stadio Friuli, 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 Dembele's right-wing cross. 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. "There are lots of things to be happy with. That needs to be the foundation going forward," the Spurs boss said. "The single result, 2-2, is good. If you look into the performance, the shift the players put in ... wow, what a mentality." Frank took over in the off-season following the firing of Australian Ange Postecoglou, who led Tottenham to their first trophy in 17 years with a victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final in May. PSG completed the Champions League-Ligue 1-Coupe de France treble last season, also winning the Trophee des Champions in January. They lost the Club World Cup final to Chelsea.

PSG fight back to beat Spurs on penalties in Super Cup
Ammon News - European champions Paris St Germain fought back from 2-0 down with five minutes left to beat Europa League winners Tottenham Hotspur 4-3 on penalties in a dramatic UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday. Totteham looked set to give new manager Thomas Frank a winning start before PSG substitute Lee Kang-in pulled a goal back after 85 minutes and Goncalo Ramos headed the equaliser four minutes into stoppage time to level the scores at 2-2. PSG completed the turnaround in the shootout as Mathys Tel and Micky van de Ven missed for Tottenham and Nuno Mendes stepped up to bury the decisive spot-kick. The PSG players poured on to the pitch in celebration, knowing they had etched their names into history as the first French side to lift the trophy. "It's incredible to win like this. This team once again showed character, even if we're not at our physical best," PSG defender Marquinhos said. "We managed to get the goals we needed through the substitutions, and in the shootout we have players who take their penalties well and a goalkeeper who helped us." Tottenham, who finished 17th in the Premier League last season, took the lead after Van de Ven scored from a rebound and doubled the advantage when Cristian Romero headed home against the French champions, who won their first European Cup in May with a crushing 5-0 final win over Inter Milan. Lee scored with a crisp finish after his side had dominated the closing stages, before Ramos met Ousmane Dembele's pinpoint cross with a diving header to send the game into a shootout. "It's difficult to talk about this match… We trained for only five-six days, it's incredible," PSG coach Luis Enrique said. "For us, it's really special to have won this trophy and to be able to offer it to them." Reuters
