Late Daniel Ogwuru goal sends Southport through in FA Trophy
Daniel Ogwuru’s 88th-minute goal gave Southport a 1-0 win at Alfreton Town and sent the club through to the next round of the FA Trophy on Saturday, November 14.
Ogwuru met an excellent cross from Sam Minihan and finished from close range, ending a match that had looked set to go to penalties.
There was little quality or threat from either side in a quiet first half, with few chances created. The game improved after the break as both teams found more openings.
Alfreton went close on several occasions, but Southport’s defence held firm before Ogwuru settled the tie late on.
Southport said the draw for the next round was expected at around 1pm on Monday, November 16.
Southport: Lukjanciks, Dwyer, Lavelle, Davies (Jameson 65), Solomon, Williams, Edwards (Willis 58), R Griffiths, Ogwuru, Minihan, Moseley.
Unused substitutes: Burgess, Cunningham and Hunter.
