Simple question but seen a lot saying we didn’t lose.
Others saying Walsall won on pens.
So did we lose?
Yes or no…..
Officially it's a draw and is shown as such on the group tables.
Walsall get one bonus point for winning the shootout.
We drew.
Penalties are for a “bonus point” and don’t decide who won the match.
A draw and the pens are stupid
I think the pens are a good idea.
Dunno. I liked watching them of course as always dramatic and guessing the EFL added them for that reason to try and get a few extra people through the gates etc but I can't see them happening in the world cup or euros etc. I don't know it just felt a bit daft to me.

Draw - weird bonus points system, like Rugger.
We drew. The shoot-out was to award a bonus point.
I thought that there's not much chance of losing on penalties when we've got players of the calibre of Paik and May to take them. 🤡
we seemed to play two events in a group section of a tournament!
we drew the first and lost the shootout
very weird experience really
The official result of the game was a draw that's why we got a point.Under the Trophy rules, for games drawn after the 90mins there is a penalty shootout,with the winner getting a bonus point .I think some statto has worked out it will stop teams all being on the same points in the group . Preventing them having to go down the route of GD,GS,head to head, if the wind was blowing from the Northeast .
However let Walsall have their win , they played well and it's made their decade .Looks like they'll have a good season in Div 2 .
ForeverFrancisAlthough if all matches end as draws, and in the shoot-outs A beats C and D, B beats A and D, and C beats B and D, you still have three teams on the same points and the same shoot-out wins.The official result of the game was a draw that's why we got a point.Under the Trophy rules, for games drawn after the 90mins there is a penalty shootout,with the winner getting a bonus point .I think some statto has worked out it will stop teams all being on the same points in the group .
