Bromley stuns Ipswich on penalties in Carabao Cup
League Two Bromley caused an upset in the first round of the Carabao Cup after it knocked Ipswich out on penalties.
Marcus Ifill scored the winning penalty as Bromley won 5-4 on penalties after the match finished 1-1 after 90 minutes.
Deji Elerewe put the host side ahead on the stroke of half-time after finishing past Christian Walton from Omar Sowunmi's pass. However, its lead did not last long as half-time substitute Ben Johnson equalised for Ipswich just eight minutes into the second half.
Ipswich was the better side in the second half and it continued to push for a winner, with Johnson and Sam Szmodics both going close with their respective efforts, but Sam Long was equal to both strikes.
Long made the perfect start to the shootout, stopping George Hirst's penalty before Michael Cheek gave Bromley an early advantage. Ipswich responded quickly as Szmodics equalised from the spot before Walton denied Ashley Charles.
Both sides scored each of their next three penalties before Long dove low to his left to save a weak effort from Ali Al Hamadi. Ilfill then made no mistake with his spot kick, firing past Walton to secure the win.
