Left it late

Tuesday 19 September 2023, Brackley Town 3 Scunthorpe United 1 - FA Cup, 2nd Round Qualifying, replay, St James Park


The host's left it late against the former League team. Scunthorpe scored early on and looked dangerous on most attacks, but were caught offside far too often. Brackley slowly got into the game, however they were foiled by the Scunthorpe keeper who made some great saves, including one from the penalty spot in the second half.

It looked like Scunthorpe would hold on for the win, but with just 4 minutes to go, Brackley got the goal their play deserved. It then looked like extra time, however Scunthorpe were struggling and you could see that they were going to struggle in the 9 minutes of added time - and they did.


96 minutes and Scunthorpe hit the bar but then the ball goes straight up the other end for Danny Newton to score a fantastic solo goal and still time for Brackley to get a penalty in the 99th minute! What a great last 15 minutes.
