The emotional side was very high. There was a lot of pressure.“It should not happen, but this is something that happens in football and we must deal with it.”Luis Sinisterra scored the winning spot-kick to seal the shootout win following a 1-1 draw which saw an 8min 11sec VAR review to rule out Kerkez’s first-half “goal” after the new Semi-Automated Offside Technology FAILED.Pereira confirmed that Cunha would have taken the fifth penalty if he had not been sent off.Instead, Matt Doherty fired wide from the spot when he had the chance to win it.READ MORE SUN STORIESBournemouth captain Lewis Cook then took the shootout into sudden death before Boubacar Traore’s kick hit the bar.The Cherries are into the quarter-finals for only the third time in their history.Manager Vitor Pereira said he will speak to the player when things have settled downCredit: ReutersCunha could be slapped with a lengthy banCredit: Getty More
