Brentford had to rely on goalkeeper Paul Smith to edge them past Barnet on penalties in the LDV Vans Trophy last night.
Wally Downes's experimental side came back from 2-0 down against the Conference team, thanks to goals from Jay Tabb, Stephen Hunt and, in extra time, Tabb once more.
But Liam Hatch levelled the tie at 3-3 and it needed Smith to save Bai Mass's kick in the shoot-out to earn a 3-1 win.
