LONDON (Reuters) - Liverpool and Middlesbrough set a new Capital One (League Cup) landmark with 27 goals in their penalty shootout on Tuesday but they would have needed to convert another 13 spot kicks to beat the world record.

The highest-scoring shootout was Argentinos Juniors' 20-19 win over Racing Club in November 1988, when all drawn Argentine League games went to penalties, from 44 attempts overall.
