Farnborough, sitting second in their league and expected to brush aside lower-prestige Uxbridge, were instead undone by a disciplined and efficient away performance. Uxbridge made their limited chances count, taking the lead and then doubling it to put the tie beyond reach, while Farnborough's attack found no way through a well-organised defence. There was little of note statistically or in terms of cards, suggesting this was more about Uxbridge's game management than any wild end-to-end contest. For Farnborough, exiting the FA Cup to a lower-ranked side will sting given their strong league form, while Uxbridge will take real confidence from a giant-killing effort into their next fixture.
How entertaining was this match?
Farnborough and Uxbridge run it back after a thrilling 2-2 draw, with a stoppage-time Michael Reindorf equaliser forcing this winner-takes-all FA Cup replay. Whoever survives at Paddy Power Park books a trip to face Hungerford Town in the next qualifying round.
