Zak Brunt struck in extra-time as Boreham Wood defeated Forest Green 1-0 in their National League play-off eliminator.<\/b><\/p>\n

After an action-packed but goalless 90 minutes, during which Forest Green relied on the excellence of goalkeeper Harry Isted, Brunt produced a first-time finish from 12 yards deep in the first period of added time at Meadow Park.<\/p>\n

Boreham Wood had the ball in the net after just eight minutes when Chris Bush fired home, only to see the goal disallowed for what appeared to be a coming together between two Forest Green players.<\/p>\n

Matt Rush saw the first of several good chances tipped wide on a night of missed opportunities for the 26-goal striker.<\/p>\n

Robbie Savage’s side were also wasteful, Tre Pemberton heading wide with the goal waiting.<\/p>\n

Isted kept the visitors alive with a brilliant save from Abdul Abdulmalik’s deflected effort and later added another outstanding contribution when he touched James Clarke’s goalbound strike against the crossbar.<\/p>\n

But Abdulmalik burrowed down the left and cut across for Brunt, whose instinctive strike settled the result and set up a semi-final against Carlisle at Brunton Park.<\/p>\n
