If you have a shot anything can happen and that one was deflected from the right but Gainsborough have worked it well from the corner.
They have created a half chance there and caused a few problems. That's what they need to do more of and can hopefully grow in confidence and create a few more opportunities.
This looks like a painful one for Harrogate's Stephen Dooley as he's down at the side of the pitch after appearing to collide with a stretcher. There's a break in play while the medical staff attend to Dooley.
For a brief moment, there was a coming together between the players after the ball went out of play and Toby Sims has now gone into the book for Town.
Trinity skipper Dylan Cogill is also shown a yellow.

Simon Weaver will want more from his Harrogate team in the second half.
Gainsborough will want to stay in it. They've done excellently well this long. They've defended resolutely and they've given Harrogate a problem and now it's about staying in it for as long as they can.
A reminder that this will be going to extra-time and penalties if it can't be decided in the next 45 minutes with no replays at this stage of the FA Cup anymore.
Will Harrogate be able live up to their favourites status tonight or are Gainsborough plotting a 'cupset'? We're about to find out...
'Let's see that cutting edge'published at 20:43 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2024

HT: Harrogate 0-0 Gainsborough
Harrogate manager Simon Weaver talking to BBC Two at half-time: "I'm fairly happy, obviously it'd be good to be a goal to the good at this moment but I feel it has been one-way traffic.
"They've had fleeting moments but largely it's about improving the final pass and executing the finish.
"The message will be let's see that cutting edge that I know we are capable of in recent weeks and keep the tempo high that it's unsustainable for them."
Josh March is furious with himself as he fires over from 12 yards for Harrogate.
A cross comes all the way out to James Daly on the left-hand side and he sets it back across nicely for March who hits it first time on the volley but it flies over the top.
Probably the best chance of the game and it's gone begging.
As a Football League side, Harrogate Town have won all three of their FA Cup ties against non-league opponents by an aggregate score of 11-3. This is their first ever meeting with Gainsborough Trinity in the competition proper.
Gainsborough Trinity have been eliminated from their last 15 FA Cup ties against Football League opponents, since beating Gateshead AFC in November 1938.
Harrogate Town are looking to reach the FA Cup third round for just the second time, previously doing so in 2021-22.
In the current format of the competition (since 1925-26), Gainsborough Trinity have lost all 10 of their FA Cup second round ties. This is their first appearance at this stage since 1952-53 (1-2 vs Newport County).
