The final stages
The momentum is certainly with Brunton. Clapton are struggling to get out of their half. It seems only a matter of time before the equaliser arrives.
But time drifts by. Chances come and go. Things suddenly become desperate.
You're tempted to throw on McBride for the latter stages but just as you discuss it with your assistant, Carr breaks down the right and crosses for Ebouwe to grab his second of the game.
Brunton nearly snatch it but McBride plants a header from close range over the bar.
It proves to be a costly miss in extra time. Brunton can't work up the same head of steam and Clapton become more dominant.
The winning goal arrives with eight minutes to go, leaving Brunton's fans in despair once again.
Result: 2-2 (2-3 AET)
