Sammy Moore scored two late goals as AFC Wimbledon defeated Ebbsfleet United 3-2 to advance to the second round of the FA Cup.
Game Recap:
Sammy Moore was AFC Wimbledon's saviour as he struck in the last minute of extra time to earn a 3-2 victory, end Ebbsfleet's FA Cup dreams and set up a second round tie against League Two side Stevenage.
At 2-1 down Blue Square Premier Dons, formed in protest by fans after the move to Milton Keynes, looked to be heading out before Moore equalised in the last minute of stoppage time and grabbed the winner 30 minutes later.
Mark Nwokeji gave the Dons the lead on eight minutes when he powered home a header after Rashid Yussuf cushioned Sam Hatton's cross into his path.
The lead was extinguished in two minutes when Tom Phipp went down under Andre Blackman's faint challenge and Ashley Carew smashed home from 12 yards.
A stronger Fleet penalty claim was refused when Hatton handled in the box but Carew picked up the rebound to fire the hosts ahead on 18 minutes.
Blue Square South outfit Fleet appeared home and dry after weathering serious Dons pressure in the second half only for Moore to level in stoppage time before slotting home again with penalties looming.
