Kayode Odejayi struck late on to give Colchester United a hard-fought 1-0 win over Huddersfield Town.
Odejayi tapped in Kevin Lisbie's low cross from close range with ten minutes to go to give the U's victory over the Terriers.
The strong wind made things difficult for the players and the first half was a largely forgettable affair, with left-back Marc Tierney registering Colchester's best effort before half-time.
The second half continued in similar fashion until Huddersfield defender Peter Clarke picked up two yellow cards in quick succession and was sent off with 14 minutes to go.
And barely four minutes later, Odejayi scored what proved to be the winner.
Substitute Steven Gillespie went close near the end, as the U's extended their unbeaten run under Aidy Boothroyd to six matches.
