Emirates FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round 6/8/2022
AFC Wulfrunians 1 Newcastle Town 2
It's hard to believe the FA Cup starts now, in August, but here we go again with Wulfrunians pitted against their NPL opponents.
The visitors looked a skilful outfit from the start, enjoying plenty of possession but it was nearly 20 minutes before they had a direct attempt and that being easily collected by the keeper. Wulfs had their moments but were finding it difficult to penetrate a well organised defence.
On 34 minutes the stalemate was broken when the visitors had a free kick and scored direct into the LH corner and this was how it stayed until the break.
The hosts came out with renewed vigour for the second half and it was their turn to enjoy considerable stretches of possession and on 65 minutes their efforts were repaid when a cross from the left was bundled home.
The home side had a player sent off late in the game and the visitors took full advantage when a cross from the right was dispatched with a powerful header, giving the home keeper no chance.
