English Football Association orders FA Cup qualifying match replay after referee error

The English Football Association has ordered a replay of an FA Cup qualifying match between Mulbarton Wanderers and Woodford Town after a refereeing error. The original match, played last weekend, ended in a 2-1 win for Mulbarton, but the result was voided. Woodford had protested a penalty decision in the first half, where the referee disallowed a goal due to encroachment and awarded an indirect free kick instead. An FA sub-committee ruled this was a technical error, and the match will be replayed on Tuesday.
