Yeovil booked their place in the third round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy with a penalty shoot-out win over Coventry.
Goalless after ninety minutes, the Glovers beat Coventry 4-3 on penalties with home goalkeeper Artur Krysiak saving two spot-kicks to give his side victory.
In a largely lacklustre first half, Jacob Murphy's curling shot forced a diving save out of Krysiak.
Coventry started to control proceedings as Jim O'Brien's effort was saved and John Fleck arrowed a shot wide after 25 minutes.
The final chance of the half fell to Marcus Tudgay after 40 minutes with the striker seeing his effort saved.
Just past the hour, Coventry substitute George Thomas saw his initial shot saved unconvincingly by Krysiak before Tudgay fired the rebound into the side-netting.
In the 67th minute, a neat move saw Yeovil's Connor Roberts put through on goal but his shot was well saved by Reice Charles-Cook.
The game seemed destined for penalties and Yeovil kept their cool in the shoot-out to book their place in the third round of the competition.
