Overview

  • Fourth-tier Grimsby advanced after a marathon shootout that ended only when Bryan Mbeumo struck the bar with his second kick.
  • The tie finished 2-2 in 90 minutes under competition rules that send drawn matches straight to penalties.
  • Grimsby had led 2-0 through Charles Vernam and Tyrell Warren before United rallied late.
  • United’s Matheus Cunha missed the fifth spot-kick before a long run of conversions by both teams.
  • Sections of Grimsby supporters stormed the pitch after the win, and the defeat raises pressure on a United side with one point from two league games following last season’s struggles.
