During the match, he made several crucial saves, preventing United from going to penalties. In the shootout, he stopped a shot from Mateusz Klich.

However, only one save allowed Grimsby to stay in the tournament, and the deciding win came from Brian Mbeumo's miss on the second penalty.

“It’s still not registered,” Pym said in an interview with Sky Sports. “I’m a Manchester United fan, so I’m a bit miffed. Nights like these are what you play football for. It’s just wonderful.”

Christy Pym recently signed a two-year contract with Grimsby Town after leaving Mansfield Town.

Importance of the Match

Pym received support from fans in Mansfield who watched the match in a hotel nearby after their team lost to Everton. His teammate and goal scorer Tyrell Warren emphasized that the victory was even sweeter for him due to the years spent in the Manchester United academy, where he played alongside Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay.
