At the start of the duel, the “townspeople” dangerously played a corner. Ake head almost point-blank shot Buna’s goal, but the goalkeeper saved the Nervionians with a bright save. Soon, Grealish checked Yassin’s reaction – the scandalous Man City midfielder burst into the penalty area, threw it under his right foot and aimed at the “nine”.
At the 25th minute, Mendilibar’s wards took the lead. Akunya crossed from the flank to the goalkeeper’s line, En-Nesiri, surrounded by three defenders, won the second floor – the ball ricocheted off the post and ended up in the net. 1:0 – Andalusians were able to keep the advantage until the break.
Guardiola’s team equalized in the second half. Palmer, closing Rodri’s cross in the criminal area, hit Buna under the crossbar on the counter – 1:1. Very quickly, Sevilla got the opportunity to take the lead again. En-Nesiri escaped to a rendezvous with Ederson, but the goalkeeper of the “citizens” managed to cover the ball.
At the end of the fight, Nathan Ake had a brilliant opportunity to get a victory for the “townspeople” – the ball flew under the crossbar, but Bunu was able to reach with his fingertips. Regular time ended with an equal score 1:1. According to the new regulations, there are no extra-times in the battle for the UEFA Super Cup. The name of the winner was determined immediately in the penalty shoot-out.
