After the restart, Alexander Schwolow kept the visitors in it with smart saves from Mikael Mandron and Killian Phillips as the hosts pressed.

Miguel Freckleton settled the game (88.), glancing in Declan John's corner from close range.

Three minutes were indicated at the end, but the Jambos could not find a leveller.
