In the second half Will Grigg had a goal disallowed for off-side and as neither side broke the dead-lock the match went to penalties. Grigg took the first penalty and hit the legs of goalkeeper Matt Ingram, the remainder of the penalties were converted and Hull progressed to the second round.[101] The draw for both the second and third round were confirmed on 6 September, live on Sky Sports by Phil Babb.[102] Hull were drawn away to Leeds United in round two with the match taking place week commencing 14 September 2020.

Though they had several chances they could not add to their lead. Leeds meanwhile had few chances, but deep into stoppage time Ezgjan Alioski levelled the score and took the match to penalties. With each side missing one penalty of their set of five it went to sudden death. Jamie Shackleton missed penalty ten for Leeds leaving Alfie Jones to convert his spot-kick to put Hull through to the third round 9–8 on penalties.[105]
