The Owls named a very, very young side at the Toughsheet Community Stadium, with nine players in the starting XI that were aged 21 or under. But despite their age, they gave an incredible account of themselves against their League One opponents, scoring three goals in an enthralling 3-3 draw.
Gui Siqueira scored a screamer, Ike Ugbo got back in the goals, and Reece Johnson poked home a lovely deft finish - however they were pegged back on all three occasions.
In the end it was left to penalties to decide it, and Pierce Charles was the man to come up trumps as he saved two to book the Owls’ spot in the next round of the Carabao Cup. Here’s how we rated the young Owls - and there are some pretty high numbers:
13. Liam Palmer - 8
On at the break for Siqueira at right wing-back. Constantly in the ear of the kids around him as you'd expect and provided some mettle up against the dangerous Gale. Quietened things down on that flank. | Steve Ellis
14. Max Lowe - 7
On for Emery with a tick over 20 minutes to go. Jumped into the very heart of defence and did his thing. | Getty Images
15. Yisa Alao - N/A
Nart but a child. On with a few minutes left to replace Kobacki. Did well under pressure on the ball once or twice. | SWFC YouTube
16. Jamal Lowe - N/A
On for Ugbo with 10 minutes to run. Made a couple of important interventions in his own box and provided some legs. Photo: Cameron Smith
