Liverpool advanced past Chelsea on penalties after a 1–1 draw in the English League Cup. The shoot-out finished 6–5 to Liverpool, while the match score remains one goal each. Combining the two would incorrectly turn a drawn game into a high-scoring result.

Both match goals came from penalties close to half-time. Morgan Rogers put Chelsea ahead in the 40th minute and Cody Gakpo replied from the spot in the 43rd. Liverpool consequently reached the interval level despite conceding so late in the opening period.

ESPN records four shots on target for each side, with Liverpool attempting ten shots overall and Chelsea eleven. Those closely matched totals provide useful context for a contest that remained level, although they cannot establish the quality of every chance. The decisive difference arrived in the separate shoot-out after no further goal was added to the match scoring record.
