Ryan Bowman maintained his record of scoring in every round of Torquay United's 2014-15 FA Trophy campaign, as he netted the Gulls' winner again FC United of Manchester.
Despite being the lowest ranked side left in the competition, FC United - who were formed in 2005 in response to the Glazer family takeover of Manchester United and play in the Northern Premier League- brought nearly 1,400 fans to the Launa Windows Stadium.
They proved to be stubborn opponents for the Gulls and it wasn't until in the 81st minute until Torquay were finally able to break down the visitors, and avoid an unwanted replay.
Midfielder Courtney Richards picked out Bowman who beat the offside trap and raced through to slot past FC United keeper David Carnell to seal Torquay's place in the last four.
Potential opposition for the Gulls in the semi-finals are: Wrexham - winners of the competition in 2013, or FC Halifax Town, North Ferriby United or either Dover Athletic or Conference South side Bath City.
