Club Brugge 1-1 Union SG: Super Cup highlights and penalty shootout

Union Saint-Gilloise claimed the Belgian Super Cup in dramatic fashion, defeating Club Brugge 5-4 in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw at the Jan Breydel Stadium. The match, which marked the official start of the Belgian football season, saw both sides battle fiercely. Nicolo Tresoldi broke the deadlock just four minutes into the second half, putting the hosts ahead. Club Brugge dominated proceedings but failed to extend their lead, and that proved costly. Kevin Mac Allister, brother of Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister, levelled the score in the 77th minute with a clinical finish after a one-two with Mohammed Fuseini. The game went to penalties, and Cheveyo Tsawa emerged as the tragic figure for Brugge, missing the decisive spot-kick. The Athletic noted that Brugge controlled large spells but lacked cutting edge in the final third. Union goalkeeper Vic Chambaere made crucial saves during the shootout. This victory marks Union's second Super Cup triumph, having previously won in 2024. Was this a sign of things to come for Ivan Leko's men? The game changer was Union's resilience after falling behind.
