Li Gangren + Ramos substitute! Paris scored a penalty kick and reversed Tottenham Hotspur, winning the cup to a record!

Parisians won the Super Cup with a penalty shootout and a pre-final counterattack. Tottenham Hotspur is only a few seconds away from winning the second European trophy in a few months.

Paris Saint-Germain scored two goals in the last 10 minutes, and then defeated Tottenham Hotspur in a penalty shootout, winning the European Super Cup for the first time in the team's history.

Mickey Van Devin and new captain Christian Romero scored an impressive two-goal lead for Tottenham at the Blue Energy Stadium in Udinine, Italy, but the Champions League champions under Luis Enrique tied the score in the final stage with goals from substitutes Lee Gangren and Gonzalo Ramos.

The Parisians then won the penalty shootout, further establishing their growing dominance in European football.

Meanwhile, for the North London team, it was a loss taken from the brink of victory. But Tottenham fans can get comfort from the team's overall steady and risk-averse style; they are in a close battle with last season's Champions League champions as they begin the era of new coach Thomas Frank.

The Danish coach's tactical blueprint is clearly reflected in Tottenham's game plan: for a long time, Enrique's invincible team was almost helpless.

Tottenham showed positive signs

The two sides were evenly matched at the beginning of the game, but the first attempt to launch an attack was Paris Saint-Germain, and Kvaratschlia turned around in the Tottenham's penalty area, but the subsequent shot deviated from the target.

However, Tottenham looked more direct in the game than when former coach Ang Postkoglu was played, and was quite threatening in the counterattack.

Active Mohamed Kudus passed the ball to Richarlison along the right rib. The Brazilian player chose to shoot from a long shot at the first time. After the ball was slightly rubbed by Pacho on the way to the goal, Lucas Schevalier saved it from the bottom line.

Rodrigo Bentankur headed the ball in the subsequent corner offense, but Tottenham's early performance was encouraging.

This early positive momentum turned into a goal six minutes before the end of the first half, with North London club opening the first record.

Paris Saint-Germain failed to handle the free kick that passed into the penalty area, allowing Bentancur to head the ball from the left to the goal.

The ball fell at Palinia's feet, and his powerful shot was bravely pounced on the crossbar by Shevalier, but Van Devin followed up in time to make a follow-up shot.

Then Kudus hit the goal frame and Tottenham almost expanded its lead in the end of the first half.

However, just two minutes after the second half began, Frank's side did expand its score advantage: new captain Romero headed the goal in another free kick off, and Shevalier might have done better against the ball.

Champions League champion was shocked. Tottenham seemed to be in a dream; there were less than 45 minutes left to win the second European Championship trophy in just a few months.

Paris Saint-Germain's counterattack

After not shooting directly to the goal for more than an hour, Paris Saint-Germain was cancelled in the 64th minute due to offside, showing signs of recovery.

The French team began to attack tentatively at this time. In response, Tottenham replaced Archie Grey and Dominic Solank, hoping to inject fresh blood to hold on to the victory.

Enrique's team firmly regained the initiative in the last fifteen minutes, and continued to put pressure on the final result in the 85th minute: Li Gangren, who came on the bench, scored a low shot, narrowing the gap to one goal.

Paris Saint-Germain smelled the opportunity to equalize. In the last moment of injury time, another substitute player, Gonzalo Ramos, headed the ball into Dembele's cross, completing the tie, dragging the game into a penalty shootout.

In the penalty shootout, Paris Saint-Germain was still the one who laughed to the end. They once again overcome Vitina's disadvantage of missing the first free throw, winning the penalty 4-3 after Van Devin and Mattis Terre missed a penalty for Tottenham.

For Paris Saint-Germain, this is their fifth trophy in 2025; for Tottenham fans, this is almost an excellent footnote to confirm the old saying about buses (it finally arrives after a long wait).

But in that impressive 80 minutes, this may, just may, heralds the dawn of the future.
