Paris Saint-Germain Defeats Olympique de Marseille via Spot-Kicks to Secure French Super Cup in the Middle East.
PSG has now claimed the season-opening cup on 14 different times.
The Parisian giants required a dramatic equaliser followed by a successful spot-kick decider to overcome Marseille in Kuwait and secure a fourth straight French Super Cup title.
The Champions League holders appeared to be coasting towards a straightforward win in the showdown between the French league winners and the Coupe de France holders after the French winger opened the net early on.
Yet, Marseille fired twice in the closing moments to seize a surprise lead. Initially, the English forward converted from the penalty spot, before the defender unfortunately directed the ball into his own net for an own-goal.
In a remarkable twist of fortune, the Portuguese striker grabbed a crucial leveler in the dying seconds to force the contest into a penalty shootout. The Parisian shot-stopper Chevalier then stood as the key figure, stopping crucial attempts from Matt O'Riley and Traore.
In the shootout, Ramos, the midfielder, the full-back, and Desire Doue all converted with composure for Paris Saint-Germain to seal a convincing shootout victory.
The record winners PSG, who met last season's Ligue 1 runners-up Olympique de Marseille after achieving a league and cup double, have now lifted this competition for the 12th time in the last thirteen seasons.
