English-born Ghanaian defender Brendan Wiredu scored in Plymouth Argyle's draw with Swansea City in the EFL Cup on Tuesday evening.
However, Plymouth Argyle failed to advance to next stage of the EFL Cup after losing 5-3 on penalties to Swansea City after a tense 1-1 draw.
Zan Vipotnik gave the home side the lead with a 25-yard strike that went in off the underside of the crossbar midway in the first half.
It was the Slovenia international's second goal in successive games, having come off the bench to earn a point against Watford in the Championship last Saturday.
But a resilient Argyle drew level a minute before half-time when defender Brendan Wiredu outmuscled Melker Widell in the Swansea penalty area to head home Sorinola's free-kick.
The equalizer shocked the home crowd and came after Argyle goalkeeper Luca Ashby-Hammond had denied Swansea - and Vipotnik - a second goal with a save from close range after initially being rounded by the Swans number nine.
Argyle forward Bim Pepple had two superb opportunities to give his side the lead. The first was a close-range effort which was saved by Swans keeper Andy Fisher, who then a missed chance to score on the goal line from the resulting corner.
But it was Swansea who triumphed in the shoot-out to maintain their unbeaten start to the season at home.
Fisher's save from ex-Swansea player Sorinola was the only miss in the shootout after the game had finished 1-1 in regular time.
Sweden midfielder Melker Widell struck the decisive penalty after successful kicks from Zan Vipotnik, Ethan Galbraith, Liam Cullen and Ben Cabango.
Wiredu, who arrived at Argyle from Fleetwood Town this summer, has scored two goals in six appearances for the club.
