Gonalo Ramos' last-gasp equalizer helps PSG win Champions Trophy in penalty
shootout
KUWAIT CITY (AP) --- Gonalo Ramos snatched an equalizer deep into added time
before Paris Saint-Germain defeated Marseille in a penalty shootout to win the
Champions Trophy on Thursday.
Goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier saved penalties from Matt O'Riley and Hamed Traor
in the shootout as PSG denied Marseille a first piece of silverware since 2012.
Chevalier had been decisive earlier in the game to deny several Marseille
chances.
PSG claimed the trophy, also known as the French Super Cup, for the fourth
straight time and a record-extending 14th overall. In addition to winning the
Champions League, PSG completed a league and cup double last season, with
Marseille finishing second in Ligue 1.
The game was played at Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium in Kuwait City.
PSG trailed 2-1 until the fifth minute of stoppage time when Ramos scored at
the end of a swift counterattack, converting a headed assist from Bradley
Barcola.
Ousmane Dembl had given PSG the lead with a first-half goal. Mason Greenwood
leveled from the penalty spot in the 76th and an own goal from Pacho gave
Marseille the lead three minutes from time.
Marseille had beaten PSG earlier this season in the French league.
