Ebbsfleet 1 Woking 0

A stunning 20-yard right-foot shot from Kezie Ibe fired Ebbsfleet into the first round of the FA Cup on Tuesday night.

Ibe's 19th-minute goal was enough to settle the fourth qualifying round replay that the Fleet never looked like losing.

Although Woking started brightly with Wilfried Domoraud proving a handful, it was the Fleet that looked more threatening.

Michael Gash had already fluffed a simple chance when Ibe took advantage of a Tom Hutchinson error to put his side ahead.

Chances were few and far between after the break but Woking did miss a glorious opening on the hour mark when James Smith's mis-kick let in Liam Marum but his weak lob was straight at keeper Lance Cronin.

Ebbsfleet finished brightly and Gash was twice denied late on while the impressive Stacy Long sent his 20-yard chip inches over.

Despite six minutes of stoppages, the Fleet held on to go through and will travel to Crewe in the first round on November 8.
