Swansea City ended Hull's unbeaten start to the season by clinching a richly-deserved 2-1 Carling Cup second-round victory at the Liberty Stadium.
The Coca-Cola Championship side overcame an early deficit to triumph in extra time courtesy of a Jordi Gomez penalty.
Veteran striker Dean Windass, making his first start of the campaign, fired Hull ahead during a one-sided opening period.
But Swansea drew level through Gorka Pintado's 62nd-minute glancing header, although the Spaniard then had an injury-time penalty saved that would have spared his team the additional 30 minutes.
Pintado's arrival as a 54th-minute substitute injected life into Swansea, and Hull had to play second fiddle for the remainder of a fast and furious second period.
The Tigers, buoyant following a Barclays Premier League victory over Fulham and draw against Blackburn, took a deserved 11th-minute lead.
The impressive Nicky Barmby threaded a pass into Swansea's penalty area, and Caleb Folan's dummy gave Windass all the time and space he needed to slot the ball past a stranded Dorus de Vries.
Swansea boss Roberto Martinez made a double substitution within nine minutes of the restart, sending on Pintado for Joe Allen and replacing Matty Collins with Angel Rangel.
It paid immediate dividends, with Pintado sending a glancing header past Duke for a deserved equaliser.
Swansea continued to pound away inside Hull's half and a superb Pintado run ended with a drive smashing against the post.
Swansea grabbed the only goal of the extra period when Michael Turner fouled Shaun MacDonald in the box and Gomez tucked in the penalty just before half-time.
