Dutch champion PSV Eindhoven won the Johan Cruyff Shield, the nation’s Super Cup, on Sunday after rallying from behind to overcome cup winner Go Ahead Eagles 2-1.
Under former Borussia Dortmund manager Peter Bosz, the third trophy was won, and the winning goal was scored by American fullback Sergino Dest in the 84th minute.
Proceed with one of the biggest underdog tales in Europe from the previous season, defeating AZ Alkmaar 4-2 on penalties to win the KNVB Cup—the first major title in 92 years.
Mathis Suray’s low cross of left-back Dean James at home in the 35th minute gave it the lead in the Super Cup final. When Eagles defender Gerrit Nauber’s own goal came back in the second half, it appeared as though the dream run would continue.
The 2025–26 season began on a positive note as Dest scored six minutes into the game.
For the first time since 2008, Eindhoven, the reigning Dutch Premier Division champion, is aiming to win three league crowns.
