Underdogs Stun Champions in Late Cup Thriller
The defending champions were dumped out of the cup on Wednesday night, undone by a stoppage-time winner that sparked wild celebrations and one of the competition's biggest upsets in years.
The underdogs defended deep for long spells, rode their luck once or twice, and struck on the break when it mattered most. Their goalkeeper, outstanding throughout, was carried from the pitch by jubilant teammates at the final whistle.
The holders' manager admitted his side had been "second to every loose ball" and conceded the result was deserved, while the winners now look ahead to a quarter-final few expected them to reach.
