Manchester United repeated their Moscow heroics by claiming the Community Shield with a penalty shoot-out win over Portsmouth.
There was none of the same drama though as United sauntered through three successful spot-kicks with only Jermain Defoe successful in reply.
It represented the first of what could turn out to be seven trophies for the Red Devils this season.
But more important for Sir Alex Ferguson, who has now completed a lucky seven victories in the curtain-raiser, it emphasised the class United proved last season still remains as they prepare for the defence of their Premier League and Champions League crowns.
