Exeter City head into next week's League Two play-off semi-final second leg with a one goal deficit following a first leg defeat to Colchester United.
A Cohen Bramall free-kick in the 81st minute proved to be decisive for the U's in what was the first Football League fixture to take place following the suspension of the league in March due to the Coronavirus outbreak. The second leg at St James Park which takes place this coming Monday.
Bramall's effort ultimately turned out to be the highlight in a game of few chances, and in keeping with the two Premier League games which took place on Wednesday the match began with the players and officials 'taking the knee' to show solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.
To reach the League Two play-off finals in the 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons, City enjoyed home advantage in the second leg of their semi-finals against Carlisle United and Lincoln City, which - on both occasions they progressed through to the final. However, with the match set to take place behind closed doors due the Covid-19 pandemic it will be interesting to see if the Grecians can still make home advantage count in the circumstances.
In the other semi-final, Cheltenham Town - one of City boss Matt Taylor's former clubs - currently lead Northampton Town 2-0 on aggregate.
