One of the biggest upsets in the history of the EFL Cup came in Round 4 on Saturday (27), when regional league side Metros East United beat Championship front-runners Yateswich 2-1 on their way to the top of the English league pyramid, with a difference of 98 places between the two teams. The two teams are 98 places apart in the English league pyramid. Metro East became the first Division 6 team in 46 years to qualify for the last 16 of the EFL Cup.
Medes East United is a team from the South Division of the National League of England, which is in the 6th tier, while Yateswich is currently ranked 2nd in the Championship and is expected to be promoted to the Premier League next season. Although the difference in the rankings between the two teams is a whopping 98 places, Medes East United's Brazilian goalkeeper, Goholan, kicked the ball to his upper body and made 12 saves throughout the whole match, and eventually won the match in a cold victory of 2-1, making them the first team to reach the round of 16 of the FA Cup in the 6th tier of the Championship since the Spartans in 1978. The team became the first Division 6 team to reach the last 16 of the EFL Cup since Spartans in 1978.
Medes East United's team leader, Mr. Iro Gobbi, said: "Many of us are shouting out that we have to do our best to win against a team with so much history and so much power this season, and this win will be remembered for the rest of our lives, as no one has ever done this miracle in the EFL Cup in the last 100 years, and the fairy tale of the Cup still exists!
