Just ten minutes had past when Worthing exploited a poor Windsor defence and Mark Knee put in a Paul Rapps cross.

Less than five minutes later they did it again.

Wesley Lopez crossed and all the Windsor defenders watched the ball through to Paul Rapps who calmly made it two for the home side.

Windsor showed the odd glimpses of the side who managed to reach the FA Trophy quarter finals and stay in the promotion race.

Michael Murphy did well to make space and cross which Dennis Greene brought down and Kieren Adams struck. Luke Burton parried the ball out to Greene who tried to put the rebound in but was judged offside.

Worthing looked as if they were the side pushing for promotion and cruised to a three goal lead.

Lopez put what seemed to be a harmless ball across the Windsor area which was missed by Ryan Parsons allowing Ben Carrington an easy finish.

Windsor then produced a moment magic, totally out of character from what had been seen in the rest of the half.

Dennis Greene dropped the ball over the Worthing defence which Shaun Dyke gave chase and struck first time on the corner of the area straight over Burtons head and into the net.

Windsor seemed to start the second half with the tempo that their supporters had come to recognise over the past months.

But, even after a couple of promising breaks, it was Worthing who managed another goal. Lopez supplied the cross which Mark Knee headed in with ease.

This didn't stop Windsor from getting their act together and looking to get back in the game.

Kieren Adams was brought down in the area by Andy Alexander and Paul Brown when trying to get on the end of a Shaun Dyke cross, but no penalty was given.

Luke Burton also managed to keep out efforts from Dyke and Adams after Michael Murphy's quick free kick.

Greene then took himself off in place of debutant Miles Norman, who had previously been playing in the Windsor & Eton reserve side.

Windsor were denied another penalty when Burton fumbled a Shaun Dyke effort and then brought down Leon Townley when he tried to knock in the lose ball.

A third penalty appeal was rejected when Murphy was brought down in the box. The referee then proceeded to give Windsor a free kick outside the area claiming that Murphy had been fouled outside the area.

To make the decision seem even worse, he ordered it taken ten yards further back from where Murphy had first received the ball.

It was looking as if no matter what Windsor threw at Worthing, nothing was going to go in. Especially when Craig O'Connor headed against the post from a Rob Saunders corner.

Windsor managed a mini fight back in the last ten minutes, but it was not enough.

Rob Saunders bundled in a Michael Murphy cross to make it 4-2 and then Murphy struck a free kick straight past Burton for 4-3.

Windsor were left even more to ponder in injury time when Dave Tilbury was sent off for pushing away Ben Carrington after the Worthing player had stamped on him. Carrington went unpunished.
