Akins' stoppage-time penalty kept Mansfield in the tie

Mansfield drew 2–2 with Peterborough on 26 September 2023 before winning the penalties 3–1. The game was close to ending in a Stags defeat when Lucas Akins converted a 93rd-minute penalty to bring the scores level and force the shoot-out.

Christy Pym then saved two penalties, with Peterborough missing three of their four attempts. Davis Keillor-Dunn converted the winning kick. The late equaliser and the goalkeeper's saves belong to different phases of the evening, but both were necessary for Mansfield to progress.

Akins' penalty counts as one of Mansfield's two match goals. The later shoot-out score is separate. This is a useful example for supporters reading a compact result line: a penalty can be part of the game itself, while penalties after a draw decide which team moves into the next round.

Two shoot-out wins between Grimsby and Port Vale

The Stags opened the campaign with a 2–0 home victory over Grimsby. Sheffield Wednesday were next, and a 1–1 away draw was followed by a 5–4 Mansfield shoot-out win. Peterborough's visit therefore brought a second consecutive tie that had to be settled from the spot.

Port Vale ended the run in the fourth round, winning 1–0 at Mansfield. That final result should sit alongside the earlier successes rather than obscure them. The campaign contained a straightforward opening win, two drawn matches that produced progression and a narrow home defeat.

The two shoot-out scores were different: 5–4 against Wednesday and 3–1 against Peterborough. Keeping them beside the correct opponent and round avoids merging the two nights into one memory. The season label is 2023/24, even though all four of these cup ties were played during 2023.
