The Parisians, whose Ukrainian defender Ilya Zabarny was on the bench, proved to be stronger than their opponents and won their sixth trophy this year. However, to determine the winner, the teams had to take part in a penalty shootout, in which Russian PSG goalkeeper Safonov parried four (!) out of five shots and helped his team win the “lottery” (2:1), and at the same time the Intercontinental Cup for the first time in history.
