FA Cup: Ebbsfelt 2 AFC Wimbledon 3

A goal in the last minute of extra-time helped AFC Wimbledon beat Ebbsfleet United in an FA Cup first-round replay on Thursday.

A 3-2 win away to Ebbsfleet was enough to secure Wimbledon a second-round meeting with Stevenage Borough.

AFC were denied what would have been a hugely contentious match-up with MK Dons, the renamed and relocated former Wimbledon club, after the League One side lost to Stevenage on penalties in their first-round tie last week.

Visitors AFC opened the scoring nine minutes into the first half at Stonebridge Road, with Rashid Yussuf guiding a Sam Hatton cross into the path of Mark Nwokeji, who headed home.

The lead lasted barely three minutes before Tom Phipp was fouled in the box by Andre Blackman, with Ashley Carew equalising from the penalty spot for Ebbsfleet.

Carew struck again just six minutes later to put the hosts in front and they looked to have booked passage to the next round before the late intervention of Sammy Moore, who levelled from close range in the 90th minute to take the tie into extra time.

The match appeared to be heading for penalties before Moore beat the offside trap and wrote himself into AFC Wimbledon’s short history with another last-gasp strike, this time in the 120th minute, to put the Conference National team into the second round.
