Two goals given up in the first half meant the young Blues' spirited second-half performance and Manasse Mampala's strike just before the hour mark proved little more than a consolation. The visitors took a deserved lead on 21 minutes with a stunning 35-yard strike that flew into the top corner of Ben Pierce's net. On the stroke of half-time, the visitors double their lead. Fleming latched on to Bradley Catton's long ball before seeing his cross turned into his own by Con Ouzounidis.
