In the early hours of Wednesday morning (28th), the Premier League's "new landlord" Newcastle visited the Championship's Bury Wanderers, and the two sides played 1-1 for 120 minutes, needing to shoot each other 12 yards. Newcastle's goalkeeper Dubafka pounced on 2 goals for 12 yards and became the hero of the win. However, netizens found the final decisive victory, before the opponent's feet, Dubafka's feet illegally left the white boundaries of the Dragon Gate in advance, because the British Soccer Cup does not have VAR-assisted ball enforcement, allowing Newcastle "over the bone" to advance to the last 8.
The two teams were locked in a tight battle until the 71st minute, when backup Newcastle flanker Micky Armstrong crossed the ball for Anthony Gordon to open the scoring. Just eight minutes later, Bury equalized at 1-1 in front of midfielder Smodis, with goalkeeper Ainsley Pias making a save from a Newcastle player to make it a 1-1 draw, with extra time unrecorded and needing 12 yards.
Although Newcastle had Harvey Bennis as a guest, but the goalkeeper Dubafka was brave enough to pounce on the shots of Smodis and Dominic Sheehan, which helped the Magpies to win 4-3 from 12 yards. However, netizens found out from the screenshot of the TV that Dominic Sheehan's last shot was taken by the main goalkeeper, and before he kicked the ball, Dubafka's both feet were already out of the white line of the goal, so it should be awarded to the re-shooting, but the ball witnesses and the circumstantial witnesses were not able to see it, and there was no VAR in the EFL Cup, which resulted in the "injustice" of this game. This is a "wrongful conviction".
Another Championship team, Lister City, has successfully challenged for a place in the Cup and knocked out Premier League team Fonnymough 1-0 in extra time. Now there are 4 teams in the last 8 of the EFL Cup, including Coventry, Manchester City, Newcastle and Lister City.
