Scandal: Amorim humiliated, out to fourth-tier side | OneFootball

Manchester United, managed by Ruben Amorim - who was criticized by Wayne Rooney - experienced a night to forget in the English League Cup and was eliminated in the round of 32 by Grimsby this Wednesday, August 27, after losing in a penalty shootout (12-11), following a 2-2 draw in regular time.

The fourth division team took advantage of their opportunities and scored two goals in eight minutes. First, after a pass from Burns, Vernam sent their fans into a frenzy by opening the scoring, and then Warren increased the lead, with Onana making a poor attempt to come off his line.

In the second half, under torrential rain, the modest English club continued to defend their two-goal advantage and even managed to score a third, but it was ruled out by the refereeing team for offside. In the 75th minute, Bryan Mbeumo scored his first goal for the 'red devils' with a well-placed shot.

After many missed chances, it was from a corner that the team led by the former Sporting coach managed to take the tie to penalties. Harry Maguire appeared at the far post and headed the ball into the back of the net, making it 2-2 in the match.

In total, 26 penalties were taken, with even the goalkeepers stepping up and the order going back to the first taker, Bruno Fernandes. Bryan Mbeumo went from hero to villain, smashing his shot against the crossbar, giving Grimsby a historic and dramatic qualification.
