Sevilla took an early lead in the 25th minute, courtesy of Youssef En-Nesyri's precise finish from a cross delivered by Marcos Acuna. En-Nesyri found a gap between Nathan Ake and Josko Gvardiol to put Sevilla ahead.
Despite City's domination of possession throughout the match, they struggled to find the creative spark needed to break down Sevilla's defense. This challenge was compounded by the absence of playmaker Kevin De Bruyne, who is sidelined due to a significant hamstring injury.
Sevilla's En-Nesyri remained a persistent threat to City's goal, having a golden opportunity to extend his team's lead early in the second half. Ederson, City's goalkeeper, came to rescue with a couple of remarkable saves to keep them in the game. Lucas Ocampos was instrumental in creating chaos down the left flank and tested City's defense.
The match showcased the competitive spirit of both teams, with Manchester City ultimately emerging victorious in the penalty shootout, securing the UEFA Super Cup alongside their Champions League triumph. Despite the challenges, the game was a testament to the resilience and determination of both side
