Result: UEFA Super Cup - Barcelona 2-0 Porto

Barcelona have won the UEFA Super Cup after a 2-0 victory against Porto in Monaco.

Lionel Messi gave the European Champions a first-half lead when he intercepted a back-pass before rounding Porto keeper Helton to slot into an empty net.

New signing Cesc Fabregas sealed the win with three minutes to go when he hit home Messi's scooped through ball, after Porto's Rolando had been sent off for two bookable offences.

The Portuguese side ended the match with nine men when Fredy Guarin was shown a straight red for a reckless challenge on Messi.
