WOLFSBURG, Germany — Substitute Nicklas Bendtner scored a late equalizer and converted the decisive penalty to give Wolfsburg the German Super Cup title over Bayern Munich Saturday. Bendtner made it 1-1 in the 89th minute to send the match straight into the penalty shootout, with no extra time. All five Wolfsburg players scored from the spot, while goalkeeper Koen Casteels made an acrobatic save with his left foot to deny Bayern's Xabi Alonso. Arjen Robben scored for Bayern in the 49th but coach Pep Guardiola remained winless in three attempts in the German Super Cup, which pits the Bundesliga champion, Bayern, against the German Cup winner. Arturo Vidal made his debut for Bayern, going on in the 74th. He was booked eight minutes later and scored from the first penalty shot. Bayern's other new signing, Douglas Costa, set up the first goal with a low cross from the left and Robben drove home from close range. But Bendtner, who came off the bench in the 70th, connected with a low cross from Kevin de Bruyne at the near post to send the ball into the roof of the net with little time remaining. Wolfsburg proved that it is likely to be Bayern's closest challenger for the title in the Bundesliga, which kicks off in two weeks. Wolfsburg beat Bayern 4-1 last season and finished runner-up in the championship. PSG blanks Lyon 2-0 Paris Saint-Germain won the Trophee des Champions for the second straight year 2-0 over Lyon Saturday. PSG, which achieved a domestic treble last season by claiming the French league, League Cup, and French Cup, put on a clinical display, converting its first chance when Serge Aurier headed home from close range after Lyon defenders failed to clear a free kick in the 11th minute. After conceding six goals against Arsenal last month at the Emirates Cup in London, Lyon's defensive worries continued, and Edinson Cavani doubled PSG's lead six minutes later from the rebound after Zlatan Ibrahimovic's shot was parried by goalkeeper Anthony Lopes. It was PSG's fifth victory in the Trophee des Champions, the traditional dress rehearsal for the French league, which starts next weekend. Juve loses to Marseille Juventus lost summer signing Sami Khedira to injury as the Italian champion went down 2-0 to Marseille in a friendly at the Stade Velodrome Saturday night. German international midfielder Khedira was forced off just past the midway point in the first half of the game in France, grimacing in pain as he departed holding his right hamstring. Italian media reports indicated that Khedira will be out for a month, which would rule him out of next week's Supercup against Lazio and the start of the new Serie A season on August 23. On a disappointing night for Massimiliano Allegri's side, a Romain Alessandrini cross surprised Gianluigi Buffon to give OM the lead late in the first half. Abdelaziz Barrada got the hosts' second goal in front of a crowd of more than 64,000 while Juve had Stephan Lichtsteiner sent off just before the break for dissent. City lets in four goals Manchester City conceded four goals in 36 hapless minutes Saturday as it slumped to a 4-2 defeat by VfB Stuttgart in a pre-season friendly. The Bundesliga club took full advantage of a shambolic defensive display by the visitors in the first half. Serbian midfielder Filip Kostic struck after 14 minutes and further goals followed from midfielder Daniel Didavi after 30 and fellow German striker Daniel Ginczek who netted twice in the 35th and 36th. City hit back with two goals in the final eight minutes. The lively Iheanacho grabbed the first and late substitute Edin Dzeko notched the second, the Bosnian target man converting from close range in what may be his final appearance before joining AS Roma. — Agencies
