JAKARTA - The promotion team Ipswich Town became the only one from the English Premier League to be eliminated in the second half of the Carabao Cup in the match on Thursday 29 August 2024 in the morning WIB. Meanwhile, West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers survive in this England third caste competition.

Ipswich, who returned to the Premier League's highest caste after a long time struggling in the Championship Division, still has not been able to win. After losing twice in the Premier League match, Ipswich also extended the bad trend in the Carabao Cup.

Competing in the second round of the English League Cup, Ipswich actually faced a team from the third caste or League Two Wimbledon. But The Tractor Boys did not move and lost 4-2 (2-2) on penalties in a duel at Wimbledon's home at The Cherry Red Records Stadium, London.

This failure complements the poor results of Ipswich who suffered defeat in domestic competitions. However, Ipswich did get a busy schedule when starting the league.

How could I not, Kieran McKenna's team had to meet Liverpool's elite team in the inaugural match. In the next match, they met again a team that was no less great, namely defending champions Manchester City.

As a result, Ipswich occupies the relegation zone. If they don't fix their performance so they can get points, they will 'gorge on' in the Premier League and return to the Championship next season.

The signs of victory were seen at the start of the match. Evidently, the game has only been running for three minutes, Ipswich has scored. Iraqi national team striker Ali Al-Hamadi successfully broke into the host's goal.

But Ipswich failed to maintain the lead. When the first half was over, The Dons managed to equalize Omar Bugiel's score. The score changed 1-1 at halftime.

Wimbledon took the lead after striker Matthew totaling a goal in the 56th minute. Ipswich, who almost lost, finally qualified after ConorULLin beat goalkeeper Owen Goodman in four minutes remaining.

The final score 2-2 and the match continued on penalties. Of the five Wimbledon executors, only midfielder Jake Reeves failed. Meanwhile, Ipswich only completed four penalties, but two of them, Liam Delap and Jack Taylor, failed. The fifth kicker Ipswich did not carry out the execution because Wimbledon was already 4-2 up.

"This victory has made my managerial career in the spotlight. This is the third time I have met Kieran as team manager. In the previous two matches I have reaped no good results," said Wimbledon managerrap Jackson.

"beating a talented young manager like him is clearly very special. I'm happy with the result of this match. Moreover, we beat the Premier League team. This is really amazing," he said again.

In another match also played in London, West Ham beat fellow Premier League Bournemouth 1-0. The Hammers' only winning goal was Jarrod Bowen in 88 minutes.

The victory made West Ham able to maintain consistency. In the last match in the Premier League, West Ham beat Crystal Palace 2-0 in the London Derby.

Wolverhampton, who is currently ranked 19th or in the relegation zone after starting late in the competition, won 2-0 over Championship Burnley. Striker Goncalo Guedes scored a brace in that match.

Meanwhile, Southampton had to work hard before overcoming Cardiff City's resistance and winning 5-3 at Cardiff City Stadium. Both teams took turns scoring goals so that the score was 3-3. Southampton finally won through two goals in injury time.
