Will Hoskins' last-minute winner sent Bristol Rovers into the Johnstone's Paint Trophy area quarter-finals at the expense of a battling Aldershot.
The Shots spurned a great opportunity to take the lead after Jeff Hughes felled Jermaine McGlashan in the area.
Luke Guttridge stepped up but Mikkel Andersen made the save to keep the scores level.
Hoskins was then on hand to fire in a bullet volley in the 90th minute from Charlie Reece's cross to settle it.
Bristol Rovers boss Paul Trollope told BBC Radio Bristol:
" It was a good win for us, because it was never going to be an easy tie after a tough, high profile match against Huddersfield on Saturday.
"I thought it culminated in a good second half when we passed it well, penetrated well and if it wasn't for their keeper, could have won comfortably.
"To their credit they did cause us some problems on a number of counter-attacks, obviously one leading to the penalty, but the possession and chances we had made us worthy winners"
Aldershot manager Kevin Dillon told BBC Surrey: "The reaction you got from the Bristol Rovers bench said it all, they were over the moon.
"I don't know how games have gone at this stadium, but we were probably 65% possession, we had about 12 corners, missed a penalty. We passed the ball around well today.
"[Jermaine] McGlashan who we got from Ashford Town, it's the first time he's played professional football and he was terrific. He got the penalty. And that's the second penalty we've missed. The next penalty will not be placed, I've told them, just smash it."
