Buxton came back from being behind again to progress through to the next round of the FA Cup with a 2-1 at Barwell.
Kieron Berry broke early on with pace down the left-hand side for the hosts and got a cross into the head of Ethan Hill, but it went straight into the hands of True Grant.
In the 12th minute, Ben Andreucci had Buxton’s first shot of the game, turning in the box and sending it just wide of the post.
Barwell broke through Buxton’s defence, and it was again Berry, this time one-on-one with Grant, who had to make himself big to deny the forward.
It wasn't long before they broke the deadlock when, in the 26th minute, a ball through the middle found Hill, who smashed it in to make it 1-0.
It almost went from bad to worse for Buxton, with Kieran Burton making a last-man tackle but only picking up a yellow card for the foul.
Buxton started the second half on the front foot and, in the 49th minute, found their equaliser. A good passing move on the left-hand side fell to Diego De Girolamo, and his right-footed shot hit the post and went in to make it 1-1.
Oliver Brown-Hill responded immediately for Barwell, with his cross/shot hitting the post and Grant having to claw the ball away from the danger area.
The Bucks, however, took the lead with Andreucci passing the ball across to De Girolamo, whose shot came off the post and into the net to make it 2-1 in the 65th minute.
Despite late pressure from Barwell, with Grant claiming crosses at the end, Buxton held on to get themselves through to the next round.
