RICHARD Burton's extra-time winner was a fitting reward to a pulsating match as Chaddesley Corbett won 4-3 at Leominster Town in the West Midlands League Division One South Cup.
The victory, clinched after Chaddesley were pegged back three times, set up a home quarter-final clash with Lye Town Reserves.
A Craig Pratt thunderbolt opened the scoring on 10 minutes following an excellent Gavin Davies run and Burton's pass.
But Chaddesley relaxed and poor defending from a corner allowed Jamie Clarke to nod home on 17 minutes.
The visitors went ahead again 15 minutes later as Pratt beat two defenders and crossed for man-of-the-match Horace McLeod to dummy the ball.
Davies was left to plant the chance past the keeper from six yards.
Chaddesley should have extended their lead but Neil Lucas ended a strong run by firing into the side netting and Ian Vogel headed straight at the keeper.
And five minutes before half-time Leominster levelled again when Daniel Rock lobbed keeper Steve Parker.
Chaddesley regained the lead on the hour mark through Stuart Jordan but Rock equalised once again.
Both sides went for the victory as Lucas hit the woodwork and Parker made two fine saves at the other end.
Chaddesley's young side dominated extra-time and Burton grabbed the decider from Gavin Knight's cross.
