League One leaders Walsall moved into the second round of the FA Cup at the expense of struggling Fleetwood.
Midfielder George Evans gave Walsall the lead, firing in a low drive after good work from Milan Lalkovic and Romaine Sawyers.
Fleetwood went close a number of times in the second half, but Anthony Forde sealed it for Walsall with a powerful cross-shot from the left.
Walsall will be the highest-ranked side in Monday's second-round draw.
Walsall manager Dean Smith told BBC WM:
Smith on Walsall v Fleetwood Town
"I think the little bit of quality in the game was the goal by George Evans, we've gone through by being average in all honesty.
"I thought at times we showed some really good play, but on the majority I was disappointed with us.
"We looked like we lacked a little bit of energy today, but in the end defended well enough to get the win."
