Sevilla 3 Barcelona 0:Sevilla upset the odds as they cruised to an impressive 3-0 victory over Barcelona in the UEFA Super Cup.
Former West Ham striker Frederic Kanoute played his part in what must be seen as an upset, scoring the crucial second goal with the final touch of the first half at the Stade Louis II in Monaco.
Before then Renato had overshadowed fellow Brazilian Ronaldinho, setting the UEFA Cup winners on their way to victory with an eighth-minute opener.
Sevilla had served notice of their intent four minutes earlier, with Renato delivering a piercing cross from the right wing.
Finding an unmarked Julien Escude, the French defender powered in a header that forced a low save to the left from Victor Valdes.
The Barca defence was carved open again soon after, with Renato initially bringing down a through ball from Daniel Alves.
A slide-rule pass for Luis Fabiano split centre-backs Rafael Marquez and Carles Puyol, and although the Brazilian was denied by Valdes, Renato was on hand to tap the ball into an empty net.
Although Barcelona pressed forward in the second half, it was Sevilla who had the final say, and from the spot after Puyol had brought down Fabiano.
Enzo Maresca, who scored twice in Sevilla's 4-0 UEFA Cup triumph over Middlesbrough in May, then hammered home the resulting penalty to cap a superb win.
