Highlights of the Sky Bet League Two game between Stevenage and Cambridge United.

Stevenage claimed a first win in five League Two games by beating Cambridge 1-0 at the Lamex Stadium.

The strugglers earned a crucial victory thanks to Charlie Carter's first-half effort.

Cambridge failed to move into the top six as their faltering play-off hopes took another hit with a fourth defeat in six games.

The U's took control in the early stages before Carter slammed home a loose ball following a corner to give the hosts a vital lead in the 22nd minute.

Having fallen behind, Cambridge fought back and home goalkeeper Jamie Cumming had to be alert to palm away a stinging shot from Adam May.

Both sides attempted to play passing football but struggled to carve out genuine chances on a bitter night.

The second half followed a similar pattern as the Boro looked to kill the game with Danny Newton and Jack Aitchison both denied.
