Charlton suffered penalty shoot-out heartbreak as their Johnstone’s Paint Trophy campaign came to an end at Brentford.
With a place in the area final up for grabs, nothing could separate the sides in normal time and with no extra-time to be played, it was left to penalties to decide the tie.
But the Addicks were to come up against an inspired goalkeeping display from Richard Lee.
Gary Doherty slotted his spot-kick home but Lee made three successive saves to deny Johnnie Jackson, Therry Racon and Kyel Reid.
Gary Alexander then kept his nerve to tuck home and send the Bees to Wembley.
