Town opened the scoring in the fourth minute when Tommy Taylor converted from the penalty spot for his eight goal of the season. 

Both sides had chances throughout the first half but the score line remained 1-0 the break.

In the 77th minute, the young Blues went down to ten-men when Abube Onuchukwu was shown a straight red card for a tackle that the referee judged to be dangerous. The midfielder had come on as a substitute five minutes prior. 

However, Town doubled their lead three minutes later when Rio Morgan whipped in a free-kick from the right which found the head of captain Jacob Mazionis, who was left unmark to nod home from close range. 

Town were able to secure the win in very wet conditions in Wales, with them now moving up to second in their group. 

They switch their focus back to league action when they host Swansea City at Playford Road on Monday 2nd December. 

Town U21s: Gray, Babb Jambang, Mazionis (C), O'Connor, Roberts (O Davis), Okunowo (Onuchukwu), Carr, Mendel-Idowu (Morgan), Boatswain, Taylor.
