Attendance 70
Edson Cata was the Tigers hero as Kingsbury London Tigers caused a minor upset this evening knocking Ryman 1 North side Harlow Town out of the FA Cup.
In a feisty Preliminary round replay, both teams were forced to see out the latter stages of the second half with 10 men.
The Tigers broke the deadlock 5 minutes before the break, Renars Zarchenko finishing well from close range, however just moments later, Harlow had a penalty after referee Mr Mackay, adjudged a push had taken place in the box, Tigers keeper Axinte Valentin guessed right saving Gavin Taylor's spot kick and the Tigers led at the break.
In the latter stages of the second half there was controversy as London Tigers were reduced to 10 men on 60 minutes, Marcus Lansiquot taking an early bath for a second bookable offence.
Harlow seized the advantage and three minutes later Darryl Doolan levelled the scores and Harlow appeared to have the upper hand in the closing stages.
However, Further controversy followed with a quarter of an hour remaining when Harlow's Daniel Green was shown a second yellow card which left both sides with a man disadvantage.
With the match seemingly heading for extra time, Edson Cata received the ball on the edge of the box and he found the net from an acute angle to seal the Tigers victory and book a place in the next round.
The Tigers were a credit to the Spartan South Midlands League and their reward is a 1st qualifying round tie away to Southern Premier side Bedford Town, a daunting task, but one that the Tigers will relish on September 12th.
