Two minutes later The Imps pulled a goal back, Reece Daniels turning home Matt King's centre. Ingles restored their two goal lead in the thirty-ninth minute when Ash White converted another penalty.

Imps Will Taylor made it 3-2 in the sixth-seventh minute with a spectacular cross-shot, and the scores were level two minutes later through Reece Daniels.

Ingles left back Matt Neal was shown a straight red card in the seventh-fourth minute for a tackle.

Both teams went for the winner, but the score was 3-3 at the end of ninety minutes and the game went to penalties. After five penalties each the shoot out stood at 3-3 and went to sudden death, Imps eventually winning 5-4 on penalties, and await the winner of the Sileby Town and Barrow Town tie in the semi-finals
