Lowestoft keeper Andy Reynolds came off injured on 60 minutes, forcing striker Michael Frew to go in goal for the final half hour. He wrote himself into club folklore 3 minutes later when substitute Jason Hallett was fouled in the area by fellow-sub Dale Cockerill, with the latter being dismissed for denying the obvious goal scoring opportunity. The normally clinical Rob King stepped up, but his penalty was weak and Frew saved the spot kick to keep his side level.
