The EFL Cup match between Grimsby Town and Shrewsbury Town showcased a dominant home side performance, ending 3-1 in favor of Grimsby. The early pace set by Grimsby, scoring the first goal just over 14 minutes into the game, put instant pressure on Shrewsbury. The early goal was crucial, as it forced Shrewsbury to chase the play, leading to further strategic risks that didn't pay off.

Notably, Grimsby excelled in their teamwork and attacking cohesiveness, illustrated by their substantial number of corner kicks—ten as opposed to Shrewsbury's three. This statistic points to Grimsby’s continuous attacking threat and territorial dominance. Moreover, their discipline was immaculate, with no yellow or red cards, a stark contrast to Shrewsbury, who received four yellow cards. This discipline allowed Grimsby to maintain their attacking flow without disruption.

The match turned significantly in the second half, highlighted by Grimsby’s second goal shortly after the break. Although Shrewsbury managed to pull one back and gave a glimmer of hope at 2-1, Grimsby’s resolve didn't waver. The home team's subsequent third goal effectively sealed the contest. Shrewsbury's inability to convert their limited chances, compounded by ill-discipline resulting in 11 fouls and multiple yellow cards, severely hampered their ability to mount a comeback. Grimsby's composure and efficiency in front of the goal ultimately defined their successful performance.
