Eisa and Wright shared four goals at Oxford
Cheltenham won 4–3 after extra time at Oxford on 8 August 2017. Mohamed Eisa opened the scoring in the ninth minute, but Oxford replied three times before half-time through Marvin Johnson, Jon Obika and Jose Fernandez Codina. The Robins went into the interval 3–1 down.
Danny Wright brought Cheltenham back into the match with goals in the 66th and 90th minutes. Eisa then scored again in the 99th minute, providing the extra-time winner. The four Cheltenham goals were shared equally between Eisa and Wright.
That sequence makes this more than a high-scoring result. Cheltenham led early, fell two goals behind, equalised late and finally won during the additional period. For supporters seeking the decisive moments, Wright's second goal forced extra time and Eisa's second settled the tie. The match record keeps each scorer and minute separate.
West Ham at Cheltenham and later penalty progress
The next tie ended in a 2–0 defeat against West Ham. The historical record lists it as a nominal away fixture played at Cheltenham, so the venue note is important: supporters should not read the away designation as proof that it took place at West Ham's ground.
The Robins opened their 2018/19 campaign with a different sort of close finish. A 2–2 home draw with Colchester was followed by a 6–5 penalty victory, before a 1–0 defeat away to Brentford ended the run.
Another successful shoot-out came in 2021/22. After winning 2–0 at Bristol Rovers, Cheltenham drew 1–1 away to Gillingham and won the penalties 5–4. Those later victories belong to separate campaigns; they were not further rounds after the 2017 Oxford comeback and West Ham meeting.
