Stockport beat Cray 3-2 after extra time.

Before kick-off, 112 league places separated Cray Wanderers and Stockport County. The gap stopped feeling like a useful guide when Stockport goalkeeper Luca Ashby-Hammond was sent off after a challenge near the edge of the box. Alex Hernandez then scored directly from the resulting free-kick to put Cray 2-0 up, leaving Stockport a man down and facing a serious FA Cup upset. Stockport still came back and won 3-2 after extra time. Cray had made the first-round tie far closer than that league gap suggested.
