Braintree Town's journey in the National League Cup concluded dramatically in a quarter-final penalty shootout defeat against Truro. Despite an arduous 690-mile round trip undertaken by 23 loyal supporters, the team could not secure a victory.
The Iron conceded a late goal in the 78th minute, appearing destined for defeat. However, goalkeeper Mason Terry emerged as a hero by scoring an equalizer in the fifth minute of added time, pushing the match into a penalty shootout.
The shootout, however, proved to be an anti-climax for Braintree. Truro converted their initial three penalties, while Braintree's Lewis Walker, James Vennings, and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas were unable to score.
