Terry Gibson's penalty saved by Steve Pears, 38 minutes.
Lightening fails to strike twice and plucky, fighting City go out to the eventual winners, despite playing better than in the League win. Five minutes of indiscipline cost them two goals and the tie. Pears saves Gibson’s 38th-minute penalty, awarded for a foul by Moran on Pearce.
