Gainsborough Trinity cause an FA Trophy shock, beating National League table-toppers York City.
Declan Howe netted the only goal, in the second-half, sealing a 1-0 victory in front of close to 2,000 at The Northolme.
Goalless, yet Entertaining First-Half:
It was a goalless first-half, but one that should have brought a few goals. Ashley Jackson went closest for Trinity, forcing a smart save out of Rory Watson from close range.
Lively York winger Tyreese Sinclair had the first attempt of the afternoon, meaning Dylan Wharton was called into a double-handed save.
York City dominated the possession, though most of it was between their centre-backs and in their own half.
Mo Fadera was making his first start for City, and should have marked it with the game’s opener. He could not get on the end of a teasing ball across the box, with an open goal gapping just a couple yards in front of him.
Fadera next curled an effort from outside the box just wide of Dylan Wharton’s far post, letting another chance go begging.
Sinclair forced a fine save, before Antigua and Barbuda international Ashley Nathaniel-George rolled one at the Trinity shot-stopper towards the end of the opening 45 minutes.
Giant-killing Gainsborough Trinity:
The second-half brought a slower pace, with York changing their shape. The Holy Blues had themselves altered formation, pulling Lewis Butroid back into the wing-back slot of a firm back five.
The goal then came on the hour-mark, as Gainsborough pounced on a mistake. Fraser Preston pressurised Watson in the York goal, leading to him mislaying a pass out from the edge of his box.
Declan Howe latched onto the loose ball, striding into the box and rifling an effort beyond the reaches of the York ‘keeper.
Howe, whose brother Callum was left out of City’s travelling match-day squad, went close twice more. He forced a finger-tip save, and put one the wrong side of the woodwork in quick succession.
Trinity had their backs to the walls in seeing out the game, reaching the last 16 of the premier non-league competition for the first time since a semi-final run in 2013.
