🤯 After 26 penalties, United knocked out by fourth division side | OneFootball

The Manchester United fan suffered again this Wednesday (27).

Meanwhile, the fans of the small Grimsby Town will remember this day for a long time.

The match in question was part of the second round of the English League Cup, the Carabao Cup.

And United ended up ELIMINATED by the team playing in League Two, the local Fourth Division.

They found themselves in a dramatic situation and managed to draw 2-2 at 88' thanks to Maguire.

But saw Matheus Cunha and Mbeumo, their two new signings for this season, miss penalties.

Grimsby came out on top by TWELVE to ELEVEN to make history - after a total of 26 penalty kicks.

This achievement led to an invasion by their fans.

And scenes for posterity at Blundell Park, the stadium that hosted 8,647 fans.

Maguire saves in regular time

Rúben Amorim preserved almost all the starters. Only Matheus Cunha and Dorgu started - compared to the starting team against Fulham.

And saw the hosts score at 22 minutes, with Vernam.

Tyrell Warren, REVEALED by United, extended the lead at 30'.

United attempted TWENTY shots before the break. But without success.

The second half came, and with it, three simultaneous substitutions for the Red Devils. Bruno Fernandes, Mbeumo, and De Ligt were brought on.

United's persistence was rewarded at 88' thanks to Maguire, who equalized with a header.

Ensuring a penalty shootout.

New signings are 'villains'

Onana's save on Oduor's penalty, Grimsby's third, brought United close to victory in the shootout.

But Brazilian Matheus Cunha was stopped by Pym... after a hesitation.

Which led to the alternating penalties.

No one else missed - including the goalkeepers.

Ensuring a 10 x 10 and the repetition of the first shooters.

Then Mbeumo hit the crossbar and Grimsby made history by knocking out United 12 x 11 in penalties after TWENTY-SIX SHOTS.

The "automatic" invasion by their fans.

United remains winless in 2025/2026. And now deals with an elimination that was not in the plans.

Meanwhile, Grimsby, currently fourth in the 4th Division, gains extra momentum after making history.
