The 15th minute blunder proved to be the decisive incident of a tight encounter when Miller failed to collect a 30-yard shot by former Maccabi teammate Brad Wine only to see the ball bobble over the goalline.

For Wine, who lined up alongside another ex-Maccabi player Rob Davidson, his goal was a bitter-sweet moment.

"It was a pot-shot although a bit tame and unfortunately for Mark he made a meal of it, but I was going for it," said Wine. "It was a very tight match and not a classic to watch, but Oakwood just deserved it.

"Leeds Maccabi can score a lot of goals so to keep a clean sheet was impressive."

The goal stunned Maccabi manager Ian Selwyn.

"Neither set of players could believe what happened," he said. "Both sides had turned around to jog back to halfway because they assumed Mark had collected the ball.

"Mark has been in great form and was superb against New Ireland Wood last week, but it was a terrible error and proved to be the difference between the two sides on the day."

Maccabi had the opening chance straight from the kick off when a defensive mistake by Davidson allowed sharpshooter Dave Woolman a chance to strike a left-foot shot that the Oakwood keeper did well to save.

Oakwood edged the first half, but after Wine's strike neither team created a chance of note.

Woolman almost lobbed the keeper on the resumption as Maccabi began to enjoy greater possession.

Pushing Oakwood back, Woolman had the visitors' best chance in the last minute, but his attempt was blocked by desperate defence.

Oakwood, leaders of the MSFL First Division, will be favourites to progress when then play third-placed Chigwell in the quarter finals.
