Wrexham 3 Total Network Solutions 3 (AET- Wrexham win 5-4 on Pens)
Not one for the faint-hearted, this. Wrexham were a goal behind by half-time as Scott Ruscoe took advantage of a howler from Dave Bayliss.
Mark Jones levelled in the second half with a 25-yard volley, but it looked as if TNS were set fair for the win when Nick Ward put them back in front with only 4 minutes left.
Who else but substitute Juan Ugarte proved Wrexham's saviour, lobbing the ball over TNS goalie Ged Doherty to put the match into extra time.
Dennis Lawrence played upfront for a while, and managed to put Wrexham ahead after 101 minutes, but his counterpart in the fish-out-of water stakes, Steve Evans, made sure this one would go all the way to the wire.
In the end, Mike Ingham saved Ged Doherty's penalty to win it for Wrexham. Phew!
