Manchester City celebrates first title of the season
Champions Manchester City won the English soccer Super Cup on Saturday. Star coach Pep Guardiola's team defeated local rivals Manchester United 7:6 on penalties in the Community Shield clash at Wembley Stadium in London. The score was 1:1 after 90 minutes.
City lifted the trophy for the first time since 2019 after losing to Arsenal, Liverpool and Leicester City in the previous three years.
Alejandro Garnacho had put the FA Cup winners ahead late on (82'), but Bernardo Silva equalized for City shortly before the final whistle (89'). Manuel Akanji scored the decisive goal in the penalty shoot-out. The Swiss had missed from the spot in the quarter-final against England at the European Championship in Germany, thus ensuring the elimination of the "Nati".
