LIVERPOOL and Middlesbrough completed an epic 30-kick penalty shootout in the League Cup last night — the Reds eventually winning 14-13 to progress to the last 16.
Both goalkeepers scored in the shootout at Anfield, which saw all 22 players still on the field make a trip to the spot before Boro's Albert Adomah fired wide.
"I don't have words to explain my feelings now," Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka said. "I've never experienced anything like that before."
But there are others who have. Here's a compilation of some of the more bizarre shootouts in football history.
THE LONGEST ...
The world record for most penalty kicks was made in the final of the 2005 Namibian Cup.
An astonishing 48 spot kicks were taken before KK Palace prevailed 17-16 over Civics. A number of players on each side had to take three spot kicks in the shootout.
THE MOST ACCURATE ...
A Hampshire Senior Cup game between Brockenhurst and Andover Town last year saw an incredible 29 penalties taken before someone missed. The 30th penalty was saved, allowing Brockenhurst to win 15-14.
THE WORST ...
Switzerland made some unwanted history at the 2006 World Cup, failing to convert any of their penalties in a round of 16 shootout against Ukraine to lose 3-0.
The result meant the Swiss became the first nation to be eliminated from the World Cup without conceding a goal after they progressed from Group G with an undefeated record.

THE FUNNIEST ...
In January, 1998, a pair of under-10 sides in England — Mickleover Lightning Blue Sox and Chellaston Boys — faced off in a cup game. After finishing 1-1 in regular time they took a remarkable 66 penalties — and the Blue Sox won 2-1.
THE MOST EMOTIONAL ...
We'll take any excuse we can to run this vision of John Aloisi sending Australia to the World Cup with this penalty agains Uruguay in 2005. It never gets old.
