After Joshua Bohui gave Dons the lead late in the first half, Lloyd Rowlatt levelled before the break then Harry Bridle gave City a 2-1 lead early in the second half.
Chi seemed on course for a third qualifying round spot but Ralfi Hand levelled in the third minute of stoppage time and Alex Teniola got a dramatic winner two minutes later.
