Accrington Web - Penalties, how many!!!!!!!

FANS enjoyed a real FA Cup thriller in a preliminary round tie when the match was decided on penalties - all FORTY of them.The game between Tunbridge Wells and Littlehampton Town finished at 1-1 after normal time.Extra time failed to separate the two teams with the score at 2-2.

Tunbridge eventually took the tie 16-15 after the marathon penalty shoot-out saw 40 attempts from the spot.The world record for the highest number of penalties taken in a shootout was established in January this year when 48 were required to settle a Namibian Cup first-round tie. KK Palace eventually beat Civics 17-16 after the match had finished 2-2 after extra time.Forty-four penalties were needed in a shootout in 1988 when Argentinos Juniors beat Racing Club 20-19 after drawing 2-2 in a league match.
It obviously wasn't at old trafford:)
