PSG beat Tottenham on penalties to win the UEFA Super Cup, completing a remarkable rally after scoring two late goals.

It was a plan perfectly calibrated to maximise Spurs’ strengths but also to compromise PSG’s. The two wing-backs, Djed Spence and Pedro Porro, shackled PSG’s two full-backs Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes, never allowing them to stretch the play and dominate Spurs.

PSG won the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday in dramatic fashion, rallying from a 2-0 deficit against Tottenham to force penalty kicks, ultimately winning the shootout, 4-3. Nuno Mendes made the deciding attempt, finishing his chance with class to cap off a wild match where the reigning Champions League winners were outplayed.
