Penalties

In a pulsating playoff encounter, Pumas UNAM held their nerve to edge out Pachuca 5-3 on penalties after a goalless 90 minutes in the Liga MX Clausura Play-In round. The university students weathered an attacking onslaught from the home side to force the game into a shootout, which they ultimately won to secure a quarterfinal berth. The game was a cagey affair from the outset, with both teams knowing a single mistake could prove costly in their quest to advance.

In a pulsating FA Cup semi-final that had everything, Manchester United somehow found a way to edge past the valiant Coventry City after a dramatic penalty shootout. Erik ten Hag’s men looked to be cruising when 3-0 up with just 19 minutes remaining. However, the Championship side produced an astonishing fightback to force extra time and very nearly pulled off an incredible upset. United had raced into a two-goal lead by half-time through strikes from Scott McTominay and Harry Maguire.
