Hendon reached the semi-finals of the London Senior Cup with an unconvincing 2-1 win against Croydon at Silver Jubilee Park.
The Greens found their opponents tough to breakdown, and were reliant on goals at the end of each half to secure progression to the last four and a trip to Redbridge.
Croydon took the lead in the 42nd minute through Tristan Toney before Ben Pattie equalised just before half-time.
The second half saw chances at a premium at either end, and the deadlock was broken as the game moved into stoppage time thanks to Carl McCluskey's header.
