Paris, which had no real match experience for a month after the Club World Cup, was shaky from the start.

While the defense was in disarray, they allowed the first goal to Tottenham's Van de Ven, and right after the second half began, they conceded a header to Romero, falling behind 2-0.

Paris made an emergency substitution by bringing in Lee Kang-in to turn the tide.

And with just five minutes left in the match, this substitution paid off.

Lee Kang-in unleashed a powerful left-footed shot right in front of the penalty box, which found the back of Tottenham's net.

With the momentum shifted, Paris equalized with a dramatic goal from Ramos during stoppage time, pushing the match into a penalty shootout.

In the nail-biting penalty shootout, Lee Kang-in once again showcased his composure with his left foot.

Coming out as the fourth kicker, he accurately found the net, playing a crucial role in Paris's first-ever Super Cup victory.

Raising the championship trophy high, Lee Kang-in, who has tasted victory five times in just the year 2025, also shared his outlook for the new season.

Coach Enrique praised Lee Kang-in, the star of the victory, by giving him a warm embrace.

Having scored in the first match of the season, Lee Kang-in is determined to compete for a starting position in the league that kicks off this weekend.
