South slipped to defeat in a close game at Peterborough.

The home side opened the scoring after fifteen minutes from a short corner given away after a poor mix-up in the South defence lead to a blatant third party obstruction. The shot from the resulting corner slipping in under keeper Roy Todd.

Cambridge South then dominated the rest of the first half and equalised from a superb Phil Smith free hit, which Piyush Jani turned home, running in at far post, for his first goal this season.

With the score at one-all at half time, and South looking the better side, Peterborough made a substitution that changed the pattern of the game, giving them dominance of the second period. After a lot of Peterborough pressure, South succumbed to a dubious own goal.

Once again South failed to get it together in the second half and the recent pattern of the opposition passing up through the pitch and with CS players chasing shadows again occurred. However, following last weeks depressingly heavy defeat, at least the final score was more balanced.
