Wycombe Wanderers will face Hartlepool United in a replay as they drew 2-2 in the first round of the FA Cup.

The Adams Park outfit, who twice fell behind, avoided defeat thanks to goals from Chris Forino and a Joe Jacobson penalty, but another fixture on top of their league commitments would have been the last thing the Chairboys wanted.

The first-half saw Gareth Ainsworth’s men boss the ball but it was the homeside that had the chances, as the Monkey Hangers peppered Adam Przybek in the Wanderers goal.

Luke Molyneux had the first shot of the match but his effort from just inside the penalty area was saved.

Molyneux again tried his luck but his bending effort from 25-yards after 22 minutes went just wide, before a lob from Mark Cullen five minutes later hit the top of the net.

Wycombe just couldn’t get into the contest with Daryl Horgan and Sullay Kaikai failing to pull the strings for Sam Vokes up top.

And Wycombe’s inability to produce in the final third on top of Hartlepool’s positive forward play eventually saw the North East club take the lead on the stroke of half-time.

Maty Daly got himself away from several Wanderers players with some brilliant skill and individualism just outside the penalty area.

This carved open the Chairboys' backline and after finding Cullen with a through ball, the striker composed himself and placed it past Przybek to give Hartlepool a deserved lead.

The goal was his fourth in his last five games.

Hartlepool taking the lead was a huge wake up call for Wycombe, as they improved in the second half.

Vokes’ shot from close range was deflected wide and a Daryl Horgan half-volley was easily gathered by Jonathan Mitchell.

However, Hartlepool should have doubled their lead on 52 minutes, but Molyneux, who was found by Reegan Ogle, astonishingly placed the ball wide after having the freedom of the Wycombe penalty box.

Three ends of Victoria Park were left speechless as it looked to be a certain goal.

This gave Wanderers a chance to get themselves back into the tie and on 62 minutes, they got themselves level through an unlikely source.

Chris Forino, whose only game of the season so far was in the 3-1 home loss to the Aston Villa U21s in August, headed in a Curtis Thompson cross to make it 1-1.

However, Hartlepool regained the lead just three minutes later through Molyneux.

The striker was found by Daly and all he had to do was put the ball over Przybek to score his fourth of the campaign.

But Wycombe again found an equaliser with 17 minutes left.

Forino was clattered in the box by Pools keeper Mitchell and up stepped Jacobson to score his third of the campaign.

Horgan nearly won it at the death but his long-range shot was saved by the keeper, which means a replay at Adams Park will take place in 10 days time.
