Huddersfield striker Jordan Rhodes scored twice as his side beat Stockport in the first round of the Carling Cup.
Rhodes drilled a loose ball into the net from 20 yards to open the scoring.
His second goal came after he had a header ruled out for offside - an error from the resulting free-kick allowing him to curl home from 20 yards.
Theo Robinson's superb solo effort made sure of victory for the Terriers, although County substitute Adam Griffin hit a late consolation with a low shot.
Huddersfield Town manager Lee Clark told BBC Radio Leeds:
"First half we played football but we played too much without any end product and overcomplicated things at times.
"I thought certainly in the second half some of the football was of the highest quality the only blip was the goal at the end.
"We need to start keeping more clean sheets than we have because I don't like conceding cheap goals."
