An eventful and action-packed contest in Denmark saw City twice hit back from falling behind to force a 2-2 draw over 90 minutes with Lakyle Samuel and sub Matty Warhurst both on target.
Ben Wilkinson’s youngsters were also reduced to 10-men late in the second half after Charlie Gray was sent off for a second yellow card.
But the young Blues showed their steel and resolve to emerge 5-4 victors from the drama of penalties with goalkeeper Oliver Whatmuff emerging as the hero.
First he saved Midtjylland’s third spot-kick before then converting City’s fifth to secure victory and a place in Friday’s Round of 16 draw.
