Stur crashed out of the DPL League Cup after losing a sudden death penalty shoot out.

A poor first half performance saw the home side go in at the break 2-0 behind but manager Matt Morris' half time talk had the desired effect and Stur levelled the scores to send the tie into extra time. A goal apiece for each side in the extra period saw the tie go to a penalty shoot out. Both sides missed one of their allotted 5 and so the shoot out went to sudden death. Boro scored their first, Stur missed and so it is the visitors who proceed to the next round.
