Brantham Athletic won an epic at Vale Farm after beating ten man Wembley thanks to a stoppage time winner from Simon Mann put them through to Round Three. The visitors were unlucky not to be ahead before the home side grabbed the lead with their first shot on target when a deflected through ball found Femmi who smacked past Fowler in the 22nd minute. Nine minutes later and it was two nil when Femmi played a one two on the edge of the box before taking the ball on and slotting past Fowler brilliantly for 2-0. It was very harsh on the visitors as they went in at the break two behind. Six minutes into the second half Wembley skipper Ian Bates was sent off for a second bookable offence for a foul in midfield and the visitors put a lot of pressure on the backline but it was just one of those days in front of goal. With ten minutes to go a corner for Brantham was cleared and Wembley broke and Femmi found himself clean through and he rounded Fowler but his weak poke at goal was cleared off the line by Beecham. Oli Mann hit the bar for Brantham late on and it seemed as though that was that. However a minute into stoppage time Simon Mann's cross was converted by Beecham and then two minutes later it was amazingly 2-2 when Simon Mann struck home from the edge of the box to take the tie to extra time. Brantham then took the lead for the first time in the 113th minute when Lawler struck past Fogler from inside the box but Wembley fought back when a free kick whipped in was headed home from close range by Walters. But after a long stoppage following a injury to Kywomya Brantham scored the winner three minutes into stoppage time at the end of extra time when Simon Mann struck home from the edge of the box again to send the Suffolk side through.
