Deji Elerewe made history for Bromley on Wednesday night, heading home a late winner to book the Ravens’ spot in the National League play-off semi-finals for the first time ever.
The 19-year-old academy graduate played the full 90 minutes and bagged the decisive goal 13 minutes from time as Bromley came from behind to defeat Woking 2-1 at the Kingfield Stadium.
Speaking to BT Sport post-match, Elerewe said: “We worked on set pieces all week in training and it was good to get a goal for the team. It was unreal, I’ll be honest! It’s my second goal of the season and I’m buzzing.
“We’re a very good side, we’re driven and we’re hungry. The fans are unbelievable and we want to go all the way.”
Andy Woodman’s side will now travel to the Technique Stadium on Sunday to take on Chesterfield in the semi-finals. The clash kicks off at 3.30pm (BST) and will be shown live on BT Sport.
Elsewhere in midweek action, Conor McGrandles and Charlie Kirk both started as Burton Albion and Cambridge United squared off at the Pirelli Stadium in League One, with the Brewers running out 1-0 victors.
That result moves Burton up to 14th ahead of their final game of the campaign at home to MK Dons this weekend, while the U’s remain in the bottom four and host already-relegated Forest Green Rovers on Sunday in what will be a season-defining game for Mark Bonner’s men.

Meanwhile, Charlie Barker made his 22nd consecutive start for Wealdstone, who finished the National League campaign in 13th following a 2-1 defeat at Southend United.
Ryan Viggars started for already-relegated Maidstone United who fell to a 4-0 reverse at the hands of promotion-chasing Chesterfield.
Jeremy Santos came on as a second-half substitute for Tonbridge Angels as they earned a 1-0 win at home to Cheshunt to securing a ninth-place finish in National League South.
Elsewhere, Alex Gilbey secured promotion to League One with Stevenage following a 2-0 win over Grimsby Town at the Lamex Stadium. Steve Evans’ side travel to Barrow on the final day of the season looking to secure a second-place finish.
