The visitors took a controversial early lead after captain Keanu Hill scored with his upper limb.

The Blues came close to equalising after Lyle Della-Verde shot narrowly wide of goal.

Immed Kartita looked to make it two but his effort forced a powerful save from Melvin Minter.

Della-Verde swiftly equalised as he struck in the squared ball of Benas Vaivada.

Moments later Danny Ogunleye struck against the crossbar before Vaivada advanced past Sidi Haidara but was unable to convert.

On the brink of half time, Brentwood gained the lead as Connor Witherspoon netted a shot in the crowded box.

Brentwood were disallowed a goal in the second half for a dubious hand ball before a strike from George Sykes was denied by Haidara.

Ogunleye netted his 30th goal of the season as he headed in an in swinging cross. Jesse Olukolu made it four for The Blues, slotting home after Shad Ngandu unselfishly sqaured the ball to him.

Brentwood travel to Capershotts as they take on Waltham Abbey in a third versus fourth tie on Saturday.
