Lyle Taylor scored on his Cambridge debut and Sully Kaikai struck a stoppage-time winner as the U's beat League One's bottom side Fleetwood 2-1.
Taylor signed for the club on Friday and found the net 14 minutes after coming off the bench.
Promise Omochere equalised for Fleetwood but Cambridge were not to be denied as Taylor teed-up Kaikai in the first minute of added time.
All of the game's big chances happened in the closing 20 minutes as a number of substitutes made their mark.
Brandon Njoku, seconds after coming on, produced great work before the ball fell to Taylor to open the scoring with 19 minutes left.

Cambridge were pegged back six minutes later when Jayden Stockley, a one-time U's loanee, stood a cross up for Omochere to nod home at the back post, only two minutes after he himself had come off the bench.
The home side should have been back ahead seconds after the restart when Taylor pulled the ball back for Jack Lankester, who somehow missed the target from six yards.
Ryan Bennett headed Kaikai's corner on to a post in the final seconds, before in added time Taylor's ball across the box was fired into roof of the net by Kaikai for Cambridge's winner.
