Paul Digby and Gassan Ahadme earn Cambridge victory at Fleetwood
Cambridge continued their winning start to the League One season with a 2 -0 victory over Fleetwood.
Fleetwood started well dominating possession and putting Cambridge under pressure, but they could not make it count.
It was the visitors who opened the scoring just after 30 minutes, with Saikou Janneh’s shot parried into the path of Paul Digby who tapped in the rebound.
Fleetwood almost equalised after the break, but Jack Marriott’s shot was well saved by Jack Stevens.
Cambridge eventually doubled their lead on the hour mark, with Gassan Ahadme towering over the Fleetwood defence to head home a corner.
The Cod Army responded by making further substitutions, which led to a few half chances, but they never troubled Stevens.
Scott Brown’s side continued to push, but the six minutes of added time was not enough to get them back into it.
Cambridge managed to hold on continuing a dream start for Mark Bonner’s side who only avoided relegation last season on the final day.
