Fulham edged past Wycombe in a nail-biting League Cup encounter, prevailing 6-5 in a penalty shootout after the match ended 1-1 at Adams Park. Marco Silva's side were behind early, conceding just four minutes in when Cauley Woodrow unleashed a stunning strike against his former club.


The visitors struggled to find their footing but managed to level the score and force the match into extra time. When the teams couldn't be separated after 120 minutes, the outcome was decided by spot kicks, with Fulham ultimately emerging victorious to progress to the League Cup quarterfinals.


Josh King leveled the score for Fulham in the 48th minute with his first senior goal, a clever backheel flick from Kevin's corner. Wycombe's resolve was tested as Fulham poured on the pressure, with Anders Hagelskjaer making a crucial clearance off the line in the final seconds to deny Kevin.




The penalty shootout was intense, with Ryan Sessegnon and Jonah Kusi-Asare both having their efforts saved by Wycombe goalkeeper Will Norris. However, the hosts couldn't capitalize on these mistakes, ultimately falling short in sudden death.


The hosts couldn't capitalize on Fulham's mistakes, and after Donnell McNeilly's penalty kick was saved, Issa Diop sealed the win with a powerful shot. This victory marked a turning point for Fulham, who had plummeted to 17th place in the Premier League after suffering four consecutive defeats.


Brentford joined their west London rivals in the quarterfinals with a resounding 5-0 win over Grimsby, ending the fourth-tier side's remarkable cup run. Grimsby had previously stunned Manchester United and Championship side Sheffield Wednesday in the competition's earlier rounds.




Grimsby's momentum was swiftly halted by Brentford's potent attack, which scored two goals within five minutes of the first half. Mathias Jensen broke the deadlock with a stunning 20-yard shot, and Keane Lewis-Potter doubled the lead with a precise header.


Reiss Nelson's goal just before halftime effectively sealed the win for Brentford, despite them making nine changes from their surprise victory over Liverpool. The Bees continued to dominate in the second half, with Fabio Carvalho adding a penalty to Jensen, Lewis-Potter, and Nelson's tally.


Fabio Carvalho sealed Brentford's dominance with a penalty kick in the second half, before substitute Nathan Collins headed in the fifth goal to cap off a convincing win. This victory keeps Keith Andrews' side in contention for their first major cup final.


In other action, Will Fish's volley proved decisive as third-tier Cardiff edged out Championship side Wrexham in an all-Welsh clash, securing a spot in the quarterfinals.


Kieffer Moore, a substitute for Wrexham, leveled the score against his former team in the 52nd minute, but it was too little, too late. Cardiff City had taken the lead earlier in the match when Yousef Salech scored in the 13th minute.


The Bluebirds sealed their victory with a 71st-minute goal from Will Fish, securing a 2-1 win over Wrexham. This match marked the first time the two clubs had met in 21 years, and Cardiff City emerged victorious.


With this win, Cardiff City advances to the quarterfinals of the League Cup, a feat they haven't achieved since the 2011-12 season when they reached the final.
