UEFA Super Cup 2019 Summary
In the 2019 UEFA Super Cup, Chelsea took the lead in the 36th minute when Christian Pulisic threaded a pass through to Olivier Giroud, who calmly slotted a left-footed shot into the right corner of the net. Pulisic then had a goal disallowed for offside, confirmed by VAR.
Liverpool equalized early in the second half, with Sadio Mané scoring in the 48th minute after Roberto Firmino flicked the ball past the goalkeeper, allowing Mané to finish from close range. The match then moved into extra time, where Mané struck again in the 95th minute, this time finding the top right-hand corner of the net after a cut-back from Firmino.
Chelsea were awarded a penalty six minutes later when Liverpool goalkeeper Adrián brought down Tammy Abraham in the box. Jorginho converted the penalty with a low shot to the right corner, bringing the score to 2–2. The game was ultimately decided by a penalty shoot-out. With Liverpool leading 5–4, Adrián saved Tammy Abraham’s decisive penalty, securing Liverpool’s victory and their fourth UEFA Super Cup title.
