Carvajal wins Super Cup for Madrid

Three quick thoughts as the 2016 UEFA Super Cup finishes Real Madrid 3-2 Sevilla after extra time at Trondheim's Lerkendal Stadium:

1. Carvajal the unlikely late winner

2015-16 Champions League winners Real Madrid bested last season's Europa League victors Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup, with right-back Dani Carvajal the unlikely hero thanks to his 119th-minute gamewinner.

The first half brought excellent debut strikes for Real Madrid youngster Marco Asensio, who shone during his side's early dominance, and Sevilla's summer signing Franco Vazquez, whose equaliser seemed sure to be the game's major turning point.
