Penalty heroics from Radbourne sees Women's Under-21s progress in cup | OneFootball

Penalty shootout heroics from Erin Radbourne saw our Women’s Under-21s progress to the next round of the Capital Cup after overcoming Queens Park Rangers on Sunday afternoon.

Having been held to a 1-1 draw in normal time after Persis Oteng’s 40th-minute opener was cancelled out by Annie Dzyadyk minutes into the second half, we were forced to a penalty shootout in the competition and goalkeeper Radbourne was in inspired form.

After the first five penalties were dispatched at SkyEx Community Stadium, Radbourne, who produced a number of notable saves in the first half, denied Holly Randall to give us the lead and, although Chrissie Wiggins saved one of our spot-kicks to bring it level, our shot-stopper was on hand to make a second save in the shootout to secure an impressive win against senior opposition.
