Stepping up, I was thinking, if I miss I hope I'm not the only one because I know what comes with it - it happened before and keeps happening. As sad as it sounds, it was the biggest relief ever that other players missed. Who would have thought that? You always want your team-mates to score so you get through.

Cork-born Kabia, who counts Cobh Ramblers, Shelbourne and Cork City amongst his former clubs, and former St Patrick's Athletic and Shamrock Rovers man Burns were both spot on from 12 yards as the League Two side eventually ran out 12-11 winners in the end of this enthralling Carabao Cup tie. Former Derry City defender Cameron McJannet was also on target for Grimsby in a sensational penalty shootout.

"It's very frustrating," he told Amazon Prime. "We showed a glimpse of what we can do at this level, but we haven't been able to show that over the course of these two games. "It's bitterly disappointing, because we were on the right track last season and working really well and playing really good football, so to not be in there this season is a huge blow for us. We missed a massive opportunity over these two games."

We're disappointed with the result - I'm not going to try and diminish the performance and the disappointment - because we set ourselves up to try and be a good cup team this season. We lost to a team who finished above us last year, on penalties. We were the better team for 75 minutes, I felt. I'm disappointed we didn't forced the issue and get the winning goal before we got to penalties.

Spurs took the lead with a goal from Van de Ven in the 39th minute after a deflected clearance allowed him to score from a rebound.

San Jose failed to protect one-goal leads and team captain Christian Espinoza exited prematurely with a gashed leg, resulting in their ouster from the U.S. Open Cup.
