Paris Saint-Germain FC 2:1 Aston Villa — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Désiré Doué scored once and assisted another as Paris Saint-Germain beat Aston Villa 2-1 in the UEFA Super Cup Final. The French forward was the standout performer on a night when the Parisians edged a tense European showpiece.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia opened the scoring in the 20th minute after a Doué assist, but Brian Madjo levelled for Villa just before half-time from John McGinn's delivery. The game turned decisively in the 61st minute when Doué finished from Ousmane Dembélé's pass, with a VAR review confirming the goal. Pau Torres, João Gomes and McGinn all picked up yellows as Villa chased the game without finding an equaliser.

The numbers tell a curious tale: Aston Villa actually had more shots with 15 to PSG's 12, and won two corners to none, yet PSG controlled possession at 61% overall and 67% in the first half. Villa outshot their hosts in the opening period but faded after the break, managing just five shots to PSG's six. Doué earned an 8.5 rating for his goal and assist from his forward position, and CheckLive's model rated PSG the stronger side, a verdict the result confirmed.
