In the kind of upset that you can really only see in a multi-tier soccer system, Grimsby Town pulled off the impossible on Wednesday in the Carabao Cup.
The fourth-tier team, which currently sits in fourth place in the EFL’s League Two, stunned Manchester United at home in a match capped off by 13 penalty kicks. As soon as the final United PK bounced off the crossbar, the locals rushed the field.
Grimsby Town triumphed 12-11 on penalty kicks, after a regular time in which they took a 2-0 lead in the first half and then allowed United to tie it with goals in the 75th and 89th minutes.
CBS Sports’ Nigel Reo-Coker called the result “the greatest upset of all time” as the Grimsby supporters continued celebrating.
