Derby and Carlisle equal longest penalty shootout record in England

Derby County and Carlisle United matched the record for the longest penalty shootout in an English tournament as the Rams triumphed 14-13 in the EFL Cup on Tuesday.

Timi Max Elsnik beat Mark Gillespie with the 32nd spot kick to send Derby into the third round after the teams had been level at 1-1 after extra time.

Both teams missed in the fourth and eighth round of penalties but were otherwise successful until Scott Carson saved from Joe McKee in the 16th round.

The 32 total kicks matched Scunthorpe United's 14-13 win over Worcester City in the FA Cup third round in 2014.

The same number of goals converted was also equalled by Liverpool and Middlesbrough in the Capital One Cup in 2014 -- with 30 total kicks -- and Dagenham and Redbridge's win over Leyton Orient in the 2011 Football League Trophy -- 28 total kicks.

The highest scoring shootout in England was Brockenhurst's 15-14 win against Andover in the 2013 Hampshire Senior Cup, in 30 kicks.

Globally, the longest record was just set this June in a regional championship match between Czech fifth-division sides. SK Batov 1903 defeated FC Frystak 22-21 in 52 kicks.

That broke the previous record of 48 kicks from the 2005 Namibian Cup final as KK Palace outlasted Civics 17-16.
