Horsham overcame Wembley 4-0 in division two with Gavin Geddes scoring twice and making one.
With England falling to Germany a few 100 yards down the road, Horsham took the lead after 28 minutes. Gary Charman beat his defender on the left and his shot was helped over the line by Geddes beyond goalkeeper Keito Karamoko.
Geddes poached his second in first-half injury time. Steve Flain cut inside his defender and drove in a powerful left-foot shot that Karamoko could only parry and Geddes clipped the ball over the prone goalkeeper.
As the rain resumed in the second half and the noise from the nearby Stadium faded, Hornets defended resolutely with Ian Chatfield saving a 30-yard pile-driver from Kenrick Dyer after 69 minutes.
Geddes laid on the third for Ryan Andrews in the 74th minute.
Clinton Moore had a goal disallowed for a foul on the keeper in the last minute, but three minutes into injury time debutant Graham Mackay added the fourth.
