...not at this game apparently. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14727203.stm Any stattos on here tonight - have there ever been that many penalties in a shoot-out?

I can't ever remember more than about seven winning one before, Rifleman - didn't realise that the JPT went straight to penalties without extra time, either.

we beat wimbledon away on pens a few years back when they were at selhurst park i yhink it was 10 -9 or 9 -8
The first time Ivory Coast got into the African Nations Cup final they lost to Ghana 18-17. Both the keepers took two penalties each. That Ghana side had the great Abedi Pele - plus Nils Lamptey and Tony Yeboah.
Here's the answer, from the BBC Sport website - "In 2009 a match between Argentina sides General Paz Juniors and Juventude saw 40 consecutive penalties converted before Juniors keeper Marcos de Tobillas saved the opposition's 21st kick and then scored the winner."
