Slough Town 2 Ebbsfleet United 0 match report: FA Cup Fourth Qualifying Round replay defeat for National League side as Jordon Ibe makes debut

Sorry Ebbsfleet were dumped out of the FA Cup by National League South Slough on Tuesday night.

The Fleet hardly had a shot on target in the 90 minutes during the Fourth Qualifying Round replay.

Ebbsfleet were comprehensively beaten by a Slough team who will now host League 2 Grimsby Town in the First Round.

Ebbsfleet made five changes after the 2-2 draw between the teams at the weekend. There was a first start in Fleet colours for former Liverpool man Jordon Ibe while Josh Wright, Omari Sterling-James, Ben Chapman and David Amoo all came into the team.

Slough made two changes from Saturday’s game at Stonebridge Road with Nathan Minhas and David Ogbonna replacing Johnny Goddard and Leon Chambers-Parillon in their line-up.

That signalled a more attacking formation from the hosts than, understandably, they set up with in the first game.

It turned into a first-half horror show for Ebbsfleet. Slough wanted every ball more, ran that bit faster and looked more cohesive in every sense. The Fleet often left themselves three on three at the back, and were given the runaround by a lively home side.

Slough, who took just 62 seconds to go ahead in Saturday’s tie, had three good chances in the first seven minutes. Munasha Sundire’s third-minute shot was fumbled by keeper Mark Cousins who was able to gather the loose ball in. Then David Ogbonna’s cross was miskicked in front of goal by Nathan Minhas, who could have had a hat-trick himself in the first half. Within a minute, George Alexander kept the ball alive in the box and Minhas poked it inches wide of the upright.

Ebbsfleet’s first real attack came on 13 minutes when Franklin Domi surged forward after beating three players but his shot was deflected behind for a corner.
