While many Devils are playing in the Champions League, this week, Timothy Castagne was playing his 1/16th final of the League Cup, with Fulham. The Belgian player became the anti-hero of the Cottagers, during the penalty shootout.
No Champions League on the programme for Timothy Castagne and Fulham, who were playing their 1/16th final of the League Cup, against Preston North End.
A match for which the Cottagers rotated against the 21st in the Championship, even if Timothy Castagne was indeed the starter on the right side of the defense.
The game took a turning point in the penalty shootout, as no extra time is scheduled in the League Cup if the score is tied after 90 minutes. The score was 1-1 on Tuesday night.
Unhappy Timothy Castagne with Fulham, in the League Cup
The session begins, and we quickly understand that it will be long. The first eight penalties of each team are registered, and Castagne, sixth shooter, has scored his well.
Fulham miss their 9th penalty, Preston don’t take advantage and miss theirs too, then everyone starts finding the back of the net again. Each team has taken 16 (!) shots on goal, the score is 15-15.
Then Timothy Castagne returns… who misses his second attempt, the 33rd penalty of this session. This time, Preston takes advantage and reaches the last 16. Bad evening for the Red Devil, anti-hero of the longest penalty shootout in the history of English professional football.
