Tom Baggott scuffed a shot wide for Hayes with the best chance of the first-half, but Pics should have gone in front in 62 minutes.

The referee awarded a penalty for a foul on Stan Mugisha but home keeper Adam Jenkins saved Ahmed Obeng's spot-kick.

With the score 0-0 at 90 minutes, the game went into extra-time.

It looked as if a penalty shoot-out would decide the tie, but six minutes before the end Obeng's cross was headed home by Kristian Ramsey-Dickson.

Leon Spink sealed the game two minutes later with a fine solo effort.
