Scunthorpe overturned a three-goal deficit and went on to beat Derby 7-6 in a penalty shootout to squeeze through to the second round of the Capital One Cup.

Alan Knill's npower League One side, who trailed 3-0 at half-time, struck twice in time added on to draw level at 5-5 at the end of 90 minutes at Pride Park. The sides could not add to the 10 goals in extra time but Scunthorpe held their nerve in the shootout. Richard Keogh, Jake Buxton and Theo Robinson gave Derby a seemingly unassailable three-goal lead at the break before Scunthorpe striker Andy Barcham pulled one back seven minutes after the restart. Buxton headed home his second within a minute to restore Derby's three-goal cushion, but Scunthorpe hit back through Mike Grella, in the 63rd minute, and Bobby Grant 10 minutes later. Scunthorpe goalkeeper Sam Slocombe kept out Robinson's 72nd-minute penalty after visiting defender David Mirfin's foul on Keogh. Nathan Tyson headed home Derby's fifth goal in the 83rd minute, but Scunthorpe were not finished and grabbed a fourth through substitute Connor Jennings in the fourth minute of time added on and an equaliser two minutes later when Grant slammed home a penalty following Michael Jacobs' foul on Josh Walker.
