It's tough to take, I thought we played really well. For them to get a late goal was gutting. I thought we were brilliant in extra time, we worked so hard, and what we should today was how far we have come.

Nikola Vasilj's penalty heroics sealed a 4-2 shoot-out win over Wales following a 1-1 draw in normal time, showcasing his crucial role in the match.

The Brentford goalkeeper was well beaten for Patrik Schick's early penalty but performed well otherwise with some routine saves.

I think we deserved to win, we found the gaps. Unfortunately, that goal at the end is a real pain. Now, we have to build on this match to get going. We also wasted some opportunities. I'm proud of the team.

Five consecutive penalties were missed or saved after Lautaro Martinez and Lewis Ferguson converted the first two kicks, but then, with Bologna boasting a narrow advantage, Jonathan Rowe and Immobile both held their nerve from 12 yards. Immobile's powerful kick, which crashed in off the underside of the crossbar, sealed Bologna's first shoot-out win in any competition since December 13, 1995 - versus Milan in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals.

Inter Miami secured a 5-4 victory over Necaxa in a penalty shoot-out after a 2-2 draw, despite Lionel Messi leaving the game early due to injury.

The penalty shoot-out had everything but consistent quality. Falk and England's Hannah Hampton made an unusually high number of saves of varying difficulty.
