Grimsby makes history, eliminates United on “infinite” sanctions and progress in the English League Cup

After a 2-2 heroic tie in normal time, the Fourth British division team wins from 12 to 11 in penalty and removes the giant from the competition

Grimsby made history Wednesday (27). The small team in England of the fourth division has eliminated Manchester United from the English championship cup by winning the penalty 12-11, after a 2-2 draw in normal time at home for the second round of the competition. The team played well during the game and saw the giant succumb to bad football, which can weigh on the coach already pressed Rúben Amorim. Vernam and Warren have marked, with Mbeumo and Maguire who left the whole.

Red Devils returns to the field next Saturday (30), when they receive Burnley in Old Trafford, for the third round of Premier League. The team did not start the competition well and adds only one point in two games, in 16th place.

Blundell Park Stadium, with a capacity of 8,500 people, was crowded with fans of the home team, which is located in Little Cleethorpes, a city close to Grimsby. The crowd continued to sing and support a giant in their domains.

Of any European competition due to the poor of last season, Manchester United spared some players against the small city of the fourth division. Captain Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro were on the bench and players such as Diallo and Maineo had a chance among the owners.

Manchester United has a bad first time

In the first half, the disparity between the teams was not evident, with Manchester United who had a game to forget, with many errors and data spaces in defense. Grimsby Town had nothing to do and opened the markings after 21 minutes. Diallo lost the ball, which reached the burns on the right. The player reversed the painting game, which had time to dominate in the area and hit. Onana was bad in the offer and did not avoid the goal.

Eight minutes later, the second goal. After the Croce of Vernam, Alba came out very badly and Warren has just pushed the goal. The extraordinary bankruptcy of goalkeeper United. An addendum: if I had Var, the goal would be canceled, because the ball took the arm of the home team player. At the end of the stage, Sesko had the best possibilities for the Manchester giant, but Pym made a good rescue.

Behind the marker, Rúben Amorim has released Mbeumo, Bruno Fernandes and Ligt in the second half. Despite the United Trio on the field, Grimsby continued to frighten. On the other hand, the Portuguese midfielder forced Pym to make a great rescue in a kick from afar. The Portuguese coach brought the entire team ahead, with two men open at each end, but the performance was scarce. Many errors of passages and crosses without direction. The home team even reached the third goal with Gardner, canceled by impediment, a decision that held the speech. So, in good attack, Mbeumo made a good individual move and put in a corner to decrease in 30 minutes.

United Draw in the end and infinite series on penalties

From the pressing so much, Manchester United has reached the draw. In a corner kick, Mount accused Maguire’s head, which once again saved the team in a decisive match at 43 minutes: 2-2 and decision on Cal. The penalties seemed that they would not end until Christmas. Each team has hit 13 times. Odou lost against the hosts and Matheus Cunha had the opportunity to give the victory of the Red Devils, but he wasted and the series went to the alternative. Thus, Mbeumo, in his second accident, sent the crossbar, eliminating the team of the English Cup of Manchester.
