In the English derby in the match for the UEFA Super Cup, Liverpool won over Chelsea in a penalty shootout.

The winner of the Champions League, Liverpool, and the winner of the Europa League, Chelsea, won the trophy in Istanbul, Turkey. The score in the first half was opened by the Londoners, when Giroud realized a way out on his own. Shortly after the break, Liverpool came back with Manet's efforts. Sadio became the first African in 13 years to score in the UEFA Super Cup.

The main time ended in a draw, but the winner was not revealed for another 30 minutes: Manet closed the shot from the flank and made a double, and Giorgino scored a penalty. As a result, the fate of the fight was decided by a series of 11-meter, during which only the London Abraham failed to score. Thus, Liverpool won the UEFA Super Cup for the fourth time in history.
