A Tyrese Shade hat-trick earned Burton a 3-1 win at Brackley in the second round of the FA Cup.
The League One side will now travel to Boreham Wood in the third round.
Burton made the early running, and should have done better after nine minutes when Julian Larsson put a cross by Shade wide.
They took the lead after 13 minutes when Shade picked the ball up and unleashed a fierce drive that was too powerful for Jonny Maxted.
However, Brackley hit back in the 25th minute when Michael Nottingham turned in a Kyle Morrison header following a Jack Price corner.
Burton looked for the lead again after the break, and Jack Armer tested Maxted with an effort from distance.
The visitors continued to press forward, and Kegs Chauke forced Maxted to tip over the bar after 57 minutes.
They looked on course to book their third-round place when after 73 minutes Shade broke the offside trap from just inside his own half and his powering run led to his second goal of the evening.
There was no sign of another Brackley heroic comeback, as Shade slotted home a third after 88 minutes from a Jake Beesley cross.
