Midfielder Donay O&#8217;Brien-Brady scored in the 94th minute of their win 2-1 at Crawley Town, ensuring they progressed at the expense of their opponents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Similarly, Gillingham and Wycombe Wanderers had been level on points going into their match at Priestfield Stadium, but Michael Duff&#8217;s side were a class above their hosts in a 3-0 win to ensure they went through.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Omar Bogle followed up his goal against Shrewsbury last weekend with a double for Crewe Alexandra in their 3-1 win at Burton Albion, allowing his team to finish top of their group.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Also first in their pile are Exeter City, who had defender Ed Turns to thank as they won 1-0 at eliminated Newport County, while Northampton Town beat Shrewsbury Town 2-1 for their third consecutive EFL Trophy victory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Doncaster Rovers came from behind to beat Bradford City 3-1 at home as both teams progressed, while the same outcome was enjoyed by Barnsley and Lincoln City, despite the former suffering a 2-0 loss at home as the Imps kept up their perfect winning record in the group stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Kick-off was delayed by an hour at Tranmere Rovers following heavy rain, but the hosts eventually edged past Blackpool with a 2-1 scoreline. Both sides were already in a qualifying position before the match began.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The pressure was also off in that respect between Bristol Rovers and Plymouth Argyle, with the home side winning 1-0 at the Memorial Stadium, after playing against 10 men for almost the full 90 minutes following a red card for Pilgrims defender Kornel Szucs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">At Hayes Lane, Marcus Browne&#8217;s header helped AFC Wimbledon seal a 2-1 victory on their travels against eliminated Bromley.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Play was suspended for nearly an hour during the second-half of Stockport County&#8217;s match at home to Wigan Athletic because of a waterlogged pitch. Dave Challinor&#8217;s team progressed with a 1-1 draw and then took an extra point with a 6-5 victory on penalties.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The EFL Trophy last-32 draw is scheduled to take place at 14:30 GMT on Thursday, 13 November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"But the award for grandstand finish must go to Peterborough United.
