In a dramatic Carabao Cup match, Preston North End edged out Huddersfield Town 4-3 in a penalty shootout after the game ended 1-1 in normal time. The match was played at Goodison Park, the former home of Everton, due to Preston's Deepdale pitch not being ready.

Preston faced a significant challenge after being reduced to 10 men when Lewis Gibson was given a red card in the 69th minute. Despite this setback, they managed to hold their own against Huddersfield, with Radinio Balker scoring the opening goal for Preston in the match. However, Huddersfield's Jusef Erabi equalized in stoppage time, sending the game into extra time. The equalizer denied Huddersfield a chance to advance to the next round, and the match ultimately came down to a penalty shootout.

In the shootout, Daniel Iversen made two crucial saves for Huddersfield, but it was Preston who ultimately emerged victorious. Delano Burgzorg's winning penalty sealed the win for Preston, sending them through to the next round of the Carabao Cup. The victory marked a thrilling end to a closely contested match that will be remembered for its dramatic conclusion.
