Paris Saint-Germain defeated Aston Villa 2-1 in Salzburg on Wednesday to retain the UEFA Super Cup. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia put PSG ahead in the 20th minute before Villa teenager Brian Madjo equalised on his debut just before half-time. Desire Doue struck the winner in the 61st minute after VAR overturned an offside call. PSG manager Luis Enrique had earlier said he did not expect a top-level game due to his side's lack of preparation after the World Cup, but his team held on to make a winning start to the new season.
