Braintree Town 3-4 Havant & Waterlooville

Havant & Waterlooville scored twice in the dying minutes to edge Braintree 4-3 in a thrilling National League finish.

Rory Williams opened the scoring for the visitors after two minutes when he beat Michael Clark to a loose ball and shot past Ben Killip.

Just after the half hour the home side were level when Mohamed Bettamer headed the ball back in and Reece Grant headed home from six yards.

With seven minutes to go to half time Braintree took the lead when Bettamer hammered a free-kick into the top-right corner from 25 yards.

Havant levelled in first-half added time as Jordan Rose netted but Braintree were back in front as Grant chipped the keeper for his second of the game.

Nicke Kabamba and Alfie Rutherford then scored late in injury time to secure their side's dramatic victory.
