Owen Dale, Jordan Gabriel and Marvin Ekpiteta were on target in a 3-0 win for Blackpool against Forest Green to set up a third-round FA Cup tie with Nottingham Forest.
It was Blackpool who drew first blood after 18 minutes when Dale charged down a loose ball and beat keeper Luke Daniels in a 50-50 challenge before tapping into an empty net.
Dom Thompson and Matty Virtue both missed chances to extend the lead before half-time.
Kyle Joseph then had another opportunity to put the game beyond Forest Green but could not find the net.
Rovers manager David Horseman made a triple substitution midway through the second half in search of a route back into the game, including the introduction of player-coach Troy Deeney.
It had little impact as Blackpool continued to dominate, and Gabriel smashed home a second 15 minutes from time.
Ekpiteta put the game beyond doubt when he headed Karamoko Dembele’s free-kick into the net to round off a good night’s work.
