Ilford, who had played through three qualifying rounds to reach the competition proper, contained Wycombe for the early stages and always looked dangerous on the break. Wanderers first showed on 9 minutes when Mark Philo's through ball to Rob Tungatt saw the former Hoddenson YT player shoot just wide of the left hand upright. A Matty Warner free-kick from the right wing caused problems for the home defence on 14 minutes while Nathanial Griffiths and Tungatt went close again before Ilford took a surprise lead on 33 minutes - Darryl Wilson latching onto a through ball down the Ilford right before nicking the ball past Tom Gott in the Wycombe goal. ![]() Gott held a long range effort from Marc Dennis on the stroke of half-time as the sides went in level and everything to play for. Half-time 1-1 ![]() Tungatt went close again on 70 minutes after Warner's free-kick was blocked while the home side pressed Wycombe occasionally but couldn't find a way through a stubborn Wanderers defence. Nicky Beasant, son of former Wimbledon 'keeper Dave, was introduced for the Wanderers in the closing stages and he was involved in the goal that effectively sealed the victory. Eight minutes were left on the clock when Matt Heggie made a clever interception in midfield and passed to Beasant. The central through ball was then picked up by a well timed run by Tungatt who finished cooly again. ![]() Final Score Ilford 1 Wycombe 4
