The gloss was taken off by a handful of supporters who got caught up in the euphoria following Chris Seargeant's dramatic stoppage time equaliser that took the match to extra time.

The game was stopped for ten minutes after police intervention following contact by some fans that left keeper Duncan Roberts on the ground at the edge of the box.

More responsible Bangor fans helped stewards and police restore order, and City supporters had even more to celebrate in a controlled way when two extra time goals saw their club frustrate the Principality Welsh Premier champions for the third time this season.

It had all looked so bleak for Bangor when Peter Hoy received his marching orders on just four minutes for bad challenge on Craig Jones.
Jones missed the first opening on nine minutes and Rhys Griffiths headed at Paul Smith a minute later.

However, it was City who picked up the gauntlet and were denied a good penalty shout when Andy Mumford wrestled Ashley Stott to the ground.

Stott missed a great chance to score on 19 minutes when he beat the offside trap only to shoot at Roberts, but a minute later, his head deflected a Lee Webber free kick past the wrong footed keeper to put City in the driving seat.

Paul Smith tipped over a Matt Jones header as Llanelli responded but Stott fluffed two glorious chances to put Bangor in the comfort zone, Roberts saving his side on both occasions.

Mike Walsh fired at Roberts from eight yards as Bangor dominated despite their lack of numbers.

Llanelli at last began to put something together just before the interval and Dave Swanick put in a crucial tackle to deny Mark Pritchard, while Griffiths fired at Smith and headed narrowly wide moments later.

Bangor had a massive let-off in first half injury time when Andy Legg put in Jones, Smith managing to block but the ball ran to Pritchard who fired wide of the unguarded goal from ten yards.

Walsh fired at Roberts seconds into the second half before a double strike shifted the balance of power.

Griffiths looked to have tapped home after Pritchard burst through the right midfield on 49 minutes but Dave Swanick was credited with the touch, but the Llangefni striker slipped an Andy Legg assist home at the near post seven minutes later.

Their tails up, Llanelli began to keep possession and look threatening for the first time and Smith had to come out quickly to deny Pritchard, while Michael Johnson cleared from the danger area under pressure from Griffiths.

The match took another dramatic turn on 66 minutes when Wyn Thomas was dismissed by referee Phil Southall for over the top verbals, but Phillips put a header past the angle seven minutes later.

City began to re-impose themselves, but Griffiths put a close range header inches over the Bangor bar, however, it needed a crucial block by Legg to deny sub Carl Noone on 83 minutes.

Jones shot at Smith in a Llanelli counter, but Les Davies fired narrowly wide at the other end.

With the seconds ticking away in stoppage time, Smith launched a long ball that was punched clear by Roberts as Stott threatened and Seargeant returned the ball to the vacated net from thirty yards to initiate the over-jubilant celebrations.

Noone missed a gilt edged chance five minutes into extra time, Roberts saving with his leg, but when Phillips brought down Stott with an unnecessary challenge on 97 minutes, Marc Limbert put away the spot kick.

Roberts beat out a Davies thunderbolt before sub Kieran Killackey put in Noone, and although the Llanelli keeper quickly off his line, the ball rebounded off Noone and into the net on 99 minutes.

Pritchard missed a good opening in the second half of extra time, but City kept possession and played down the clock successfully, so much so that frustrated Griffiths saw red ten minutes from the end for an off the ball elbow on Martin Beattie and there was no way back for Llanelli.
