Under the 2026 UEFA Super Cup rules, what followed a level score after 90 minutes?

The story behind the answer

Under the 2026 UEFA Super Cup rules, a penalty shoot-out followed if the score was level after 90 minutes.

The match regulations specified 90 minutes of play and no extra time. If the teams were still level, the winner would be decided by penalties.

This rule differed from many major knockout finals, where two 15-minute periods of extra time are normally played before penalties. The 2026 final did not require the shoot-out because Paris Saint-Germain led Aston Villa 2–1 at the final whistle.

The previous UEFA Super Cup had ended 2–2 after normal time, with Paris Saint-Germain beating Tottenham in a penalty shoot-out. That earlier result can cause confusion when recalling the 2026 match format.
