Kyle Glasgow then left three defenders behind as he broke into the right side of the penalty area but shot wide of the far post, meaning the first period finished goalless.

The visitors pulled a goal back seven minutes into the final period, the attack was into the left side of the box and when the ball went across the penalty area it was knocked home at the back post.
