The 2016 UEFA Super Cup was the 41st
edition of the UEFA Super Cup, an annual Football match organized by UEFA and
contested by the reigning champions of the two main European Club competitions,
the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. The match featured Real Madrid,
the winners of the 2015-16 UEFA Champions League and Sevilla, the winners of the
2015-16 UEFA Europa League.
It was played at the Lerkendal
Stadion in Norway. Real Madrid won the match 3-2 after extra time. In the 21st
minute Marco Asensio scored the opening goal for Real Madrid with a strike from
the 25 yards out which flew into the top left corner of the net. Franco got the
equalizer in the 41st minute when he scored with a low left foot shot
from just inside the penalty area.
Sevilla were awarded a penalty in
the 72nd minute when Sergio Ramos was adjudged to have fouled Vitolo
by flicking back his leg inside the penalty area. Yevhen scored from the
resulting penalty with a low shot to his left sending the goalkeeper the wrong
way. In the 93rd minute Sergio Ramos scored with a free header from
two yards out after a cross from Lucas.
In the 119th minute Dani
Carvajal got into the penalty box after a long run down the right and scored when
he lifted the ball with the outside of his right foot over the goalkeeper. This
was the third time Sevilla lost in UEFA Super Cup final. In 2014 they lost by
Real Madrid and in 2015 by Barcelona. This was the third time Real Madrid has won UEFA Super Cup.
