Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer saved a penalty by substitute Romelu Lukaku to give Champions League winner Bayern Munich a 5-4 victory over Chelsea in a shootout on Friday to win the Uefa Super Cup, after the game finished 2-2 following extra time.
Ten-man Chelsea appeared to be on the verge of victory after Eden Hazard made it 2-1 in extra time but substitute Javi Martinez equalized with the last kick of the game to force the shootout.
All nine players converted their penalties before Lukaku stepped up, and Neuer dove to his left to keep the shot out.
Fernando Torres had given Europa League winner Chelsea an early lead with a fierce volley, before Franck Ribery equalised two minutes into the second half with a hard shot that seemed to catch Petr Cech by surprise.
Bayern won its first Super Cup in the club’s fourth attempt, earning a first trophy with the team for new coach Pep Guardiola.
“It’s the first time, we’re proud of that,” Guardiola said. “We played unbelievably good football. I’m so happy with our performance.”
