The start was great for Brighton as it took them only three minutes to take the lead through Elliott Bennett.

Fifteen minutes later, Matt Harold equalized. Things got even worse in the 38th minute as Wycombe claimed the lead.

It should be noted that both sides got shortened by a man as Hoyte was shown the red card after a violent conduct in the 31st minute while Wycombe's Woodman was sent off after a professional foul on the 45th minute.

El Abd's side grabbed the equalizer two minutes into injury time from a penalty kick and the first half ended in 2-2 tie.


Six minutes after the start of the 2nd half, Murray gave Brighton a 2-3 lead but Pittman equalized on the hour mark while Harrold made the score 4-3 in the 70th minute.

Seven minutes before the final whistle, Murray scored from a second penalty kick for Brighton in the game to end the match in a 4-4 draw.

With this result, a replay will be scheduled at Brighton's home turf. It should be noted that El Abd played the entire match and looked in a good shape throughout the game.
