question: (CNN) -- It was tense, nerve-shredding, prime-time viewing.

No, not the new series of "Boardwalk Empire," but a soccer match with 31 penalties.

Tuesday's English League Cup match between Liverpool and second division Middlesbrough was a marathon encounter which finally came to a conclusion at 10:42pm local time -- almost three hours after it had kicked off.

Level at 1-1 after 90 minutes at Liverpool's Anfield stadium and locked together at 2-2 after two hours of play, the two teams began a record-breaking penalty shootout.

After all 11 players on both teams -- including the two goalkeepers -- had taken a spot kick, only two penalties had been missed.

As a result, with the score in the shootout level at 10-10, the first penalty takers had to go again.

The success both teams enjoyed from 12 yards made for a surreal spectacle, with Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli letting a wry smile slip when he converted for the second time in the shootout.

But, as always in these heartbreaking football deciders, there has to be a fall guy.

That was Middlesbrough's Albert Adomah, who sliced his penalty wide of the goal to give Liverpool the win.

The final score in the shootout was 14-13, with both teams having taken 15 penalties each.

When you include the penalty scored by Middlesbrough substitute Patrick Bamford to make the score 2-2 in the dying moments of extratime, there was a grand total of 31 spot kicks in an extraordinary match -- a competition record.

"I don't have words to explain my feelings now," Middlesbrough manager, and former Real Madrid No. 2, Aitor Karanka remarked after the match.

question: CHAPTER XVIII: DOUBLE, DOUBLE TOIL AND TROUBLE

'Truly the tender mercies of the weak, As of the wicked, are but cruel.'

And how did Lilias show that she had been truly benefited by her sorrows? Did she fall back into her habits of self-indulgence, or did she run into ill-directed activity, selfish as her indolence, because only gratifying the passion of the moment?

Those who lived with her saw but little change; kind-hearted and generous she had ever been, and many had been her good impulses, so that while she daily became more steady in well-doing, and exerting herself on principle, no one remarked it, and no one entered into the struggles which it cost her to tame her impetuosity, or force herself to do what was disagreeable to herself, and might offend Emily.

However, Emily could forgive a great deal when she found that Lily was ready to take any part of the business of the household and schoolroom, which she chose to impose upon her, without the least objection, yet to leave her to assume as much of the credit of managing as she chose--to have no will or way of her own, and to help her to keep her wardrobe in order.

The schoolroom was just now more of a labour than had ever been the case, at least to one who, like Lilias, if she did a thing at all, would not be satisfied with half doing it. Phyllis was not altered, except that she cried less, and had in a great measure cured herself of dawdling habits and tricks, by her honest efforts to obey well- remembered orders of Eleanor's; but still her slowness and dulness were trying to her teachers, and Lily had often to reproach herself for being angry with her 'when she was doing her best.'

question: (CNN) -- Asian football chief Mohammed Bin Hammam will be Sepp Blatter's only opponent in the forthcoming FIFA presidential elections, the sport's governing body confirmed on Monday.

The 75-year-old Blatter, who has held office since 1998, will go head-to-head with the Qatari on June 1 in Zurich, Switzerland.

Elias Figueroa, a former international defender for Chile, had intended to put himself forward for the role but announced last week there was not enough time for a credible campaign to be launched.

American journalist Grant Wahl said earlier this year he was hoping to stand, but it was more a ploy to raise awareness about what he called the "need for change" at an organization which has earned $4.189 billion over the last four years than a realistic challenge to Blatter's supremacy.

Marvelous Mourinho record falls -- but will it ever be beaten?

Africa's Issa Hayatou was the last candidate to run against the Swiss when he was defeated in the 2002 ballot, which came after a campaign of accusations of financial mismanagement at FIFA.

Bin Hammam, a FIFA executive committee member and president of the Asian Football Confederation, told CNN last month that the time had arrived for change in the organization after more than a decade under the stewardship of the Swiss.

Blatter, who has been involved with FIFA since 1975, announced at a recent UEFA congress in Paris this will be his last term as president if he is elected for another four years at the helm.
