It was a clash of the mighty and the underdog. Of course, that's how it looks on paper until the game began and the true positions of the teams were unravelled.
Man Utd who plays in the EPL and whose fans brag about it, were seen by many as the giant while the Grimsby Town who plays in League two were seen as the underdog.
But when the game kicked off and barely forty five minutes into the game, Grimsby Town, the underdogs were already 2-0 up! If not for the third goal that was ruled out for offside they would have been 3-0 up.
The way the underdog Grimsby were playing against the big boys Man Utd made their fans brag about it openly as the game progresses. Then came a turn around by the big boys - An Utd. They took the game to Grimsby and soon equalized the two goals and took the game into penalties.
The unthinkable then happened during the shootouts; Man Utd players missed their spotkicks (2 of them) and the game ended 12-11 on penalties. The underdogs then turned out to be the best team on the night.
