West Ham goalkeeper Mason Terry showcased his match-winning ability with a dramatic 95th-minute equaliser for Braintree Town against Truro City in the National League Cup quarter-final. The 21-year-old's last-gasp strike forced extra time, continuing his remarkable rise through the non-league ranks.
What happened in the match?
Terry's 95th-minute goal left Truro City stunned and Braintree Town's defenders in disbelief. The West Ham loanee followed up his equaliser with a 97th-minute assist against Morecambe, proving his impact isn't limited to goalkeeping. His performances have earned him three successive supporters' player of the year awards.
Why this matters for Truro City
Truro City, who finished 24th in the 2025 National League table with 34 points (8W-10D-28L), will face Braintree again in their season opener on 10 October. The Cornish side, who conceded 72 goals last season, will need to tighten defensively against Terry's attacking threat.
What's next for Mason Terry?
Terry is now aiming for a first Football League loan with Port Vale, having turned down offers to be first-choice at other clubs. His ultimate goal is to challenge for West Ham's No.1 jersey and England honours. "I'm ready to show my qualities," Terry told Standard Sport, highlighting his ambition to make an impact in the EFL.
