Man City Wins Penalty Shootout to Advance in English League Cup
Geronimo Rulli saved two penalties after Vitor Reis equalized late, sending holders Manchester City into the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
- On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Manchester City reached the Carabao Cup quarter-finals by defeating Brighton & Hove Albion 4-3 on penalties following a 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium.
- Manager Enzo Maresca implemented nine changes to his lineup for the cup tie, resting key players including Erling Haaland, Ruben Dias, and Josko Gvardiol to provide them brief holidays after their loss at Aston Villa.
- Reserve goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli secured the victory by saving spot-kicks from Yasin Ayari and Lewis Dunk during the shootout, while Mateo Kovacic's missed penalty ultimately proved inconsequential to City's progression.
- Despite goals from Malick Yalcouye and Georginio Rutter, Brighton failed to break their winless streak at the Etihad, as Manager Fabian Hürzeler noted his team had created sufficient chances to win the match.
- Both clubs return to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, October 31, for a Premier League rematch, with Brighton making two visits to Manchester in four days after the cup encounter.
