AFC started the better in the second half and the equaliser came in the 53 minute when a through ball from Angelo Franco picked out Jumaane Meggoe who slid it low past the keeper. Tividale were back in front 9 minutes later when Dan Smith was brought down in the penalty area and Luke Carter made no mistake from the spot.

With 15 minutes to go Smith gave Tividale a two goal advantage when after some great work from Brad Welding he fired home from the edge of the area.

With 8 minutes to go it was 3-2 to the visitors when Ben Jevons met Franco’s corner at the near post and powered his header past Louis Connor in the Tividale goal. The goal resulted in a grandstand finish but AFC could not get the goal that would take it into penalties and Tividale moved into the next round..
