Taylor Charters was the hero as he cooly slotted home the winning penalty after Ryan Rydel missed for Stockport.
The deadlock was broken 34 minutes into the clash when Isaac Olaofe’s cross took a huge deflection off the ankle of Jon Mellish before looping over Tomas Holy and into the back of the net.
Stockport held the advantage for the majority of the game before Omari Patrick fired Carlisle level with just under 10 minutes to play.

Ryan Rydel missed a decisive spot kick for the Hatters before Carlisle made no mistake in firing home each one of their shots.
