City boss Allan Hale joked that penalties hadn’t been practiced - but praised his players for the standard of their efforts from the spot.
“We haven’t pracited them,” he laughed. “I’ll be honest with that. But we have a lot of ability in the team and players that are confident and had been penalty takers at their previous clubs.
“The penalties from both teams were excellent. People say it’s a lottery, but it takes skill and courage and those who are calm under pressure usually prevail and we managed to do that.”
