Match Highlight
PSG opened the scoring in the 13th minute through Ousmane Dembélé. The winger collected a pass from Vitinha and delicately lifted a left-footed finish over goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli to give the champions early control.
Marseille turned the game on its head in the closing stages. Mason Greenwood equalised in the 74th minute, converting from the penalty spot after being fouled by Chevalier. The comeback seemed complete three minutes from time when Willian Pacho accidentally diverted a cross into his own net.
PSG refused to go down quietly and piled on the pressure in stoppage time. Their persistence paid off in the fifth minute of added time as Bradley Barcola nodded a long ball into the path of Gonçalo Ramos, who calmly finished to force a penalty shootout.
Goalkeeper Chevalier made amends in the shootout, saving penalties from Matt O’Riley and Hamed Traoré. Ramos, Vitinha, Nuno Mendes, and Désiré Doué all converted for PSG, sealing another trophy for the Paris club.
