Match report

Peterborough and Barnsley played out a 3-3 draw in the League Cup Round of 32 at the ABAX Stadium on Tuesday evening. The match finished level after 90 minutes, sending the tie to a penalty shootout. Peterborough emerged victorious from the spot-kicks and advanced to the next stage. Cameron McGeehan gave the hosts an early lead in the first minute, but Harry Leonard equalised for Barnsley just before the half-hour mark. D. Ormerod restored the visitors' advantage shortly after, before Reyes Cleary brought Peterborough level at the 40-minute mark. The second half followed a similar pattern. Cleary doubled his tally at 74 minutes to put Peterborough ahead again, only for Ormerod to respond eight minutes later and level things at 3-3. Both sides made changes around the hour mark, with Harry Ashfield, Brandon Singh Khela, Ben Hamed Touré and A. Richards among those brought on. Peterborough edged possession at 53 per cent and created five big chances compared to Barnsley's four. The hosts registered nine shots on target while the visitors showed 15, but neither side could find a breakthrough in regular time. Expected goals stood at 2.16 for Peterborough and 3.16 for Barnsley. The deadlock was finally broken at the penalty spot. Peterborough took their first three kicks through Luca Connell, Harry Leonard and Patrick Kelly. Barnsley matched them with three penalties of their own before the shootout continued round by round until one side pulled ahead. Peterborough's victory keeps them in the competition while Barnsley's campaign comes to an end. The result means the hosts will face whoever they are drawn against in the next round, though that fixture will not be known until the draw takes place.
