Dover’s bid to reach the last eight of the FA Trophy will resume on Tuesday night after Woking scored a stoppage-time equaliser to salvage a 3-3 draw in the Third Round tie at Kingfield.
Chris Kinnear’s side led 3-2 until Scott Rendell pounced to score his second of the match after goalkeeper Andy Rafferty had produced a stunning save to deny Kevin Betsy in the 94th minute.
Rendell had given Woking, who beat Whites 6-1 in the Vanarama Conference clash at the same venue in August, the lead in the 16th minute after his 25-yarder took a slight deflection on its way past Rafferty.
Dover had offered little in attack at that stage – that was until captain Connor Essam struck in the 35th minute when he headed home Tom Murphy’s cross.
That’s the way it stayed until Dover conceded a penalty, converted by Rendell, just before the break when Sean Francis was adjudged to have fouled Ross Lafayette.
Whatever boss Kinnear said at half-time worked – his side stunned the Kingfield faithful with two sensational goals in four minutes after the restart.
First Nicky Deverdics (pictured) equalised, firing home after a corner was half cleared just four minutes into the half.
Stefan Payne then put Whites in front with a stunning strike from an almost impossible angle for his 13th Whites goal of the campaign after Liam Bellamy had won the ball.
Bellamy sustained a hand injury in the process and received hospital treatment after the game for a suspected broken bone.
The two sides will be in the hat for the Fourth Round draw on Monday lunchtime ahead of their replay at Crabble on Tuesday night.
