The visitors took an early lead through Luke Charman in the 18th minute, but Hebburn responded before half-time when Kian Foreman equalised in the 36th minute to send the sides level at the break.

The turning point came in a decisive second-half spell for Hartlepool: Maxim Kouogun put his side ahead in the 60th minute, and Christopher Popov added a third six minutes later, making it 3-1 before Hebburn pulled one back deep into stoppage time in the 89th minute, though it proved too little too late.
