Substitute Scott McGleish scored a hat-trick as Colchester staged an astonishing comeback against Northampton Town in the LDV Vans area semi-final.
Scott McGleish: Hat-trick hero
The home side went 2-0 up with two goals from Richard Walker but then had defender Ian Sampson sent off for a second yellow card.
McGleish then scored after Lee Harper had parried a Wayne Andrews effort and equalised with a near-post header to force extra time.
His header after 95 minutes put Colchester through on the silver goal rule.
