Match Report
The goal ensured that the Ligue 1 champions lifted the Super Cup trophy for the third successive season.
Monaco were up against PSG in the match having finished second in the league after their opposition had won a league and cup double during the 2023-24 season.
The match itself was held in Stadium 974 in Doha and both sides had their chances in Qatar, though PSG looked the more threatening without being unable to break the deadlock.
But Dembele's late intervention ensured that the game did not go to penalties as he secured the victory with a finish inside the far post after Fabian Ruiz had supplied a neat pass across the face of goal.
Desire Doue had nearly made the breakthrough in the ninth minute, hitting the bar, while Lee Kang-In was foiled by a Philipp Kohn save after he had a shot from distance at the end of the first half.
Monaco's Maghnes Akliouche and Takumi Minamino also forced the returning Gianluigi Donnarumma into action, but were unable to make the decisive breakthrough.
Next up for Ligue 1 leaders PSG is a home game against St Etienne on Sunday, while Monaco travel to Nantes on Friday.
