Millwall fell to a heartbreaking FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on penalties at the Den.
With three minutes of normal time remaining, the Lions were leading 2-0 but conceded twice in the dying embers before losing 5-4 on penalties after extra-time.
Following a lacklustre opening 45 minutes, Alex Pearce’s 70th minute goal and an Aiden O’Brien strike nine minutes later appeared to edge Millwall towards a Wembley semi-final.
However Jurgen Locadia halved the deficit in the 88th minute before Millwall keeper David Martin fumbled Solly March’s free-kick in the fifth minute of stoppage time to make it 2-2.
Extra-time saw another Locadia effort ruled out for offside while Millwall’s Shane Ferguson was dismissed for kicking out at Shane Duffy.
The Lions took the initiative in the shoot-out after Glenn Murray hit the crossbar but Brighton keeper Mat Ryan saved from Mahlon Romeo to send the game into sudden death penalties.
Lewis Dunk then converted Brighton’s sixth penalty before Jake Cooper blazed over to send the Premier League side into the last four and leave Millwall wondering what might have been.
