Beckenham took a lead with just 15 minutes gone. Lancing levelled by half time with Alex Laing’s effort being headed in by a Beckenham defender and looping over the keeper to make it 1-1.

In the second half Andrew Briggs with a powerful strike from 30 yards out sent the ball flying into the top corner. Knory Scott made it 3-1 in the 92nd minute.
