Fleet stage dramatic cup fightback

Woking 2 Ebbsfleet 2

Two Luke Moore penalties in three second half minutes saw Ebbsfleet United stage a stirring FA Cup comeback at Woking on Saturday.

The Fleet looked down and out after a dreadful start saw them 2-0 down inside the opening eight minutes.

The first came on seven minutes when Wilfried Domoraud capitalised on an error by Paul McCarthy - who misjudged a long ball forward - and finished beyond keeper Lance Cronin.

It was 2-0 60 seconds later when Liam Marum rounded Cronin to net after being sent clear by former Fleet player Joel Ledgister.

But the fightback began in the 61st minute when the visitors were handed a rather generous penalty after a nudge on Michael Gash and Moore made no mistake from the spot.

And the Fleet restored parity three minutes later when on loan keeper Carl Pentney brought down Kezie Ibe for another spot-kick, which was again converted by Moore. Pentney could consider himself fortunate to escape with only a yellow card.

The sides must replay at Stonebridge Road on TUesday night. Kick-off 7.45pm.
