Char Blackwood's effort from outside the area beat the goalkeeper, only for a Petts Wood player to stick her hand out on the goal line, prompting the referee to point to the penalty spot and send the culprit off.

Hampstead: Mifsud, Ben-Atar, Patel, Gray, Trigg, Bard, Freeman, Wragg, Blackmore, Toro, Arnold.
