Manchester City wins Supercup against United

Manchester City won the English Football Super Cup on Saturday.

Star coach Pep Guardiola's team beat local rivals Manchester United 7-6 on penalties in the Community Shield duel at London's Wembley Stadium. After 90 minutes, the score was 1-1. City won the trophy for the first time since 2019 after losing to Arsenal, Liverpool and Leicester City in the past three years.


Alejandro Garnacho had given the FA Cup winners a late lead (82nd minute), and shortly before the final whistle (89th minute) Bernardo Silva equalized for City. Manuel Akanji scored the decisive goal in the penalty shootout. The Swiss missed from the penalty spot in the quarter-finals of the European Championship in Germany against England, thus ensuring the elimination of the “Nati”.
