“Amir Berchil doubles Guiseley's lead deep into stoppage time, finishing well to make it 2-0.”
Pivotal
Guiseley
Stockton Town
Guiseley broke the deadlock just after the break, striking in the 49th minute to settle the nerves after a cagey opening period produced little of note. The hosts then had to dig in for a long stretch before finally doubling their advantage in stoppage time through Amir Berchil, who turned a nervy finish into a two-goal cushion. Stockton Town refused to go quietly, hitting back almost immediately to set up a frantic final whistle, but it was too little too late as Guiseley held firm to progress. For a side sitting 18th in their league, this cup run offers a welcome lift in confidence, while Stockton will rue their slow start in front of goal.
