A goalless match against Brighton still brings a big result
Charlton drew 0–0 with Brighton at The Valley on 21 December 2022, then won the penalty shoot-out 4–3 to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. The Addicks were a League One side, while Brighton were in the Premier League. The fourth-round tie therefore brought opponents from different levels of the league system.
The score during the match remained goalless; Charlton's four successful kicks belonged to the shoot-out. A summary saying simply 'Charlton won 4–3' would conceal that distinction and imply seven match goals that were not scored. The full description preserves both the defensive result and the decisive outcome.
For supporters looking back at the evening, the Valley venue and December date identify this specific Brighton tie. The report's quarter-final qualification refers to what the win achieved, while the match itself was in the fourth round. Both descriptions can appear around the same game without meaning it was already a last-eight fixture.
Three shoot-out wins in one Charlton campaign
Charlton had already won two shoot-outs before meeting Brighton. They drew 1–1 at home to Queens Park Rangers and progressed 5–3 on penalties, then beat Walsall 1–0 away. A 1–1 draw at Stevenage ended with another successful shoot-out, this time 5–4.
Brighton became the third penalty success of the run. Manchester United then ended Charlton's campaign with a 3–0 quarter-final victory at Old Trafford. The route was therefore much broader than one upset: two earlier drawn ties also had to be settled before the Addicks reached the televised December meeting.
Reading the whole campaign makes the distinction between a match draw and cup progression particularly clear. Charlton advanced from three level scores, but did not win each of those games by scoring more during normal play. The current result cards above similarly keep any penalty tally separate, helping supporters follow who went through without losing the original score.
