Wassail the underdog!
βSeventy-six million, seventy-six million!β β somebody from the crowd shouted when Benjamin Sesko went for a shot and missed the opportunity at the dying stage of the game.
Grimsby Town, a club from the English fourth tier, went two goals up only to concede twice against Manchester United. The entire budget of their team is around 3.9 million euros, while United spent 229 million on four players this summer.
The drama continued for a lifetime in tiebreaker. Grimsby held their nerves, and after 26 penalty kicks, Manchester United are knocked out by a league 2 side- the great Grimsby Town _ defeating Man United 12-11 on penalties
Grimsby had surged to an early 2-0 lead with goals from Cameron McJannet and Luca Barrington, capitalizing on errors by United's Andre Onana, before Bruno Fernandes and Joshua Zirkzee equalized. The shootout extended to 13 rounds, with Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo missing for United, highlighting ongoing issues at Old Trafford despite heavy summer spending.
