FA Cup: Kidderminster Harriers 2 - 0 FC Halifax Town

 Kidderminster Harriers are dreaming of more giant-killing exploits after upsetting FC Halifax at Aggborough to reach the third round of the FA Cup.

Kidderminster got as far as the fourth round in 2014 before losing to Sunderland and in 2004 they took Wolves to a replay in round three before being knocked out of the competition, 

Their best FA Cup run came in 1994 when they defeated Birmingham City and Preston as they reached round five, they went down 1-0 at home to West Ham.

Some reactions from the match

Halifax counterpart Pete Wild was critical of his side's display. He told the BBC:"I'm frustrated because it's them wanting it more than us that's won it for them," he said. "We can't be disappointed because we didn't threaten their goalkeeper."

"We didn't stand up to the test. It was a big game in the second round of the FA Cup and we didn't stand up. It's one of the worst first halves since I've been at the football club."

This is how the winning team responded on the terraces.
