Man City vs Sevilla: The Cityzens add UEFA Super Cup to their cabinet after a penalty shootout victory

The Cityzens win the UEFA Super Cup after beating Spanish side during Man City vs Sevilla on penalty shootout (5-4) after a missed penalty from Nemanja Gudelj.

Youssef En-Nesyri stole in between Nathan Ake and full debutant Josko Gvardiol to emphatically convert Marcos Acuna's cross and give Sevilla a 25th-minute lead.

City, who will be without playmaker Kevin De Bruyne for a number of months with a serious hamstring injury, hogged the ball for long spell but lacked a creative spark.

En-Nesyri should have doubled his and Sevilla's tally early in the second half, with City indebted to a couple of fine saves from Ederson as Lucas Ocampos wrought havoc down the left flank.

Man City vs Sevilla: Match Summary

Manchester City dominated the opening stages of the game but couldn't find a way through Sevilla's well-manned defence, with star man Erling Haaland hardly seeing the ball.

The Spanish side took the early advantage against the run of play, as Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri fired in a pinpoint header from a cross put in by Aston Villa target Marcos Acuna, jumping above Manchester City new-boy Josko Gvardiol to find the bottom corner.

Pep Guardiola's side continued to have the lion's share of possession, but couldn't find a way through the middle of last season's Europa League winners and, when forced wide, looked short on ideas.

Second Half:

Manchester City were expected to re-assert their dominance as the second half of Man City vs Sevilla began, but it was Sevilla who went closest in the opening minutes, with En-Nesyri having two excellent opportunities to double the Spanish side's lead.

However, City's quality came to the fore thanks to young winger Cole Palmer, who headed home on the hour mark and appeared his side's biggest threat as the second half wore on.

The treble winners pushed on, and began piling relentless pressure on Sevilla in search of a winner. However, the Andalusian outfit stood firm, thanks to great blocks from players across their entire backline, and leaving the game to be decided on penalties.

Erling Haaland, a spectator for much of the game, slotted Manchester City into the lead in front of the English fans, before Lucas Ocampos levelled the shootout.

7 perfect kicks followed, before centre-back Nemanja Gudelj saw his penalty rebound off the crossbar to hand the Premier League champions Super Cup supremacy.
