Gainsborough Trinity
Leamington
Gainsborough Trinity made home advantage count, seizing control in the closing stages of the first half with two goals in the space of eight minutes to effectively settle the tie before the break. Javelle Clarke's 36th-minute strike got the party started, and Lewis Butroid coolly dispatched a penalty on the stroke of halftime to make it 2-0. Despite Leamington enjoying more corners (8 to 5), they could never turn territorial spells into genuine pressure, managing just a single shot on target all match compared to Trinity's four. A third goal and a red card in the 90th minute rubbed salt into the wound, capping off a comfortable evening's work for the hosts as they progress in the FA Cup with minimal fuss.
